Model Test and Numerical Simulation of Water Conservancy Foundation Bearing Capacity

Abstract

In order to further improve the construction quality of water conservancy projects under different soil conditions and ensure the safety, stability, and durability of water conservancy project foundation construction under special circumstances, this study takes the bearing capacity of water conservancy land foundation as the research direction, takes frozen soil foundation and bag gravel pier composite foundation as examples, and further optimizes the parameters of foundation bearing capacity by using the theory of foundation ultimate bearing capacity and related algorithms. The P-S curve of bearing capacity shows that when the foundation is frozen to −15°C and the foundation sum is about 190 kN, the P-S curve trend at this time changes significantly, which is not different from the indoor simulation result of 170 kN. The final numerical analysis of foundation bearing capacity is relatively reliable, which can provide a powerful reference for the calculation of foundation bearing capacity of hydraulic engineering.
