Abstract
Due to the special time–space and environmental effects of the foundation pit, there are many unstable factors in the construction process of the field test. The indoor model test can avoid many uncertainties in the construction process due to its operability, which can reduce the interference with the test results and improve the accuracy of the test. In order to further discuss the force-bearing characteristics and deformation laws of loess pits’ support structure in Northwest China, a large model test of foundation pit supported by a pile anchor with a geometric similarity ratio of 1:10 was designed and completed. The force and deformation characteristics of the support structure were systematically studied by simulating the conditions of additional load at the pit edge, soil layered excavated, and anchors tensioned. The test results show that: for the pile-anchor support structure, the anchors have significant limiting effects on the displacement of the piles. Especially, when the position of the first row of anchors is closer to the pile top, the displacement of the pile is smaller. The stress state of the piles was changed by the prestressed anchor. The passive stress state of piles is changed from one side of tension and the other side of compression to the active stress state of “S” shape, which makes the distribution of the bending moment of piles more reasonable. The measured earth pressure in the process of soil unloading has a nonlinear distribution, which is different from the classical Rankine earth pressure distribution; specifically, the passive earth pressure in front of the pile is more obvious. In addition, the prestress applied to the anchors has a more significant effect on the internal forces of the other anchors. Compared with sequential tensioning, the prestress loss caused by interval hole tensioning is significantly reduced. The greater the number of spaced holes, the smaller the prestress loss and the better the anchoring effect of the anchor. The results of the study can provide reference for similar model tests, and also for related engineering applications.
