Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 土木工程學系 === 86 === During the pile drivings of three precast concrete piles of the Chiayi-Taipo Large Scale Pilot Pile Test for the High Speed Rail Project, a network of piezometers, inclinometers and level posts were deployed around the pile driving area to monitor the variations of soil water pressure and the ground deformations induced by pile drivings. Each of the piles driven has a diameter of 80cm and a length of 34m. The results measured have clearly revealed, qualitatively and quantitatively, the squeezing phenomenon and its influencing area during the penetration process of the piles. Besides, the correlation between the resistance of pile driving and the geological condition of the site has also been identified. The results of measurement are very valuable and useful for engineering applications. It is shown that in the vicinity of the pile ,very high excess pore pressure are developed, it approaching 1.5 times the in-situ vertical effective stress in sand and 3.5 times in clay and beyond 15 times pile diameters the excess pore pressure are virtually negligible. The time of dissipation of excess pore pressure in sand is about 3.5 minute and 18 hours in clay. To predict the maximum excess pore pressure, the measured results in clay agree well with the empirical method proposed by Massarsch or Ladanyi and the results in sand agree well with that proposed by D'Appolonia and Lambe. We also can get good result from the "Cavity Expansion Theory" in both clay and sand if we can choose the parameter carefully. If simulating the lateral deformation with "Elastic Theory", the decreasing trend is siginificantly different with the field measured value.
