Abstract
The structure of a bridge has certain peculiarities, and its pile foundations are susceptible to uplift or settlement deformation due to various factors. This can result in bridge deck cracking, structural instability, tilting, and even irreversible damage, which significantly impacts the bridge’s stability and driving safety. This study focuses on the Shiyangtai No.1 Bridge and aims to investigate the factors that cause abnormal rise and fall deformations of bridge pile foundations. The study combines macro and micro analysis, physical characteristic testing of the overlying soil under the bridge pile foundation, and numerical simulation of the bridge pile foundation in the goaf. The study discusses in-depth the formation mechanism of the abnormal uplift of some pile foundations of the Shiyangtai No.1 Bridge based on the analysis of the factors influencing the abnormal rise and fall deformation of the bridge pile foundations at home and abroad. The expansive soil beneath the pile foundation is weak, and the force generated by the water expansion is insufficient to cause the pile foundation to rise to 309 mm. The results indicate that the pile foundation of the bridge is not affected by the expansion characteristics of the overlying soil. The collapse of the goaf roof generates double lateral thrust from the accumulation body at the bottom of the goaf and the upper collapse arch. This causes staggered bending uplift of the sandstone soil layer, resulting in upward squeezing pressure that causes the bridge pile foundation to rise. Therefore, the coal mining area is the main factor influencing the abnormal uplift of the pile foundation of the Shiyangtai No.1 Bridge.
