Abstract
In order to study the influence of the creep of soft soil and the corrosion damage of reinforced concrete on the horizontal bearing behavior of piles, the novel p-y curve model was established considering the time-varying characteristics of soil parameters. The attenuation law of the bending stiffness of reinforced concrete piles under chloride erosion was analyzed by introducing the bending stiffness reduction factor. The limit state function of pile reliability analysis was then established considering the time-varying characteristics. The reliability index of a pile under horizontal displacement failure mode was obtained using the quadratic response surface method. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of random variables (cohesion, internal friction angle, concrete cover, and chloride concentration) on the time-varying reliability of a pile under horizontal displacement failure mode was carried out. The influence of the distribution types of soil parameters on the time-varying reliability was considered. The results show that the load-bearing characteristics of the horizontally loaded pile are impacted significantly by the time-varying characteristics of the soil. The maximum horizontal displacement of the pile increases nonlinearly with the increase in service time. When the horizontal displacement failure mode occurs, the variability in the internal friction angle has a significant impact on the reliability of the pile. The reliability index decreases nonlinearly with an increase in service time. When the soil parameters obey the extreme value type I distribution, the corresponding reliability index is greater than that of log-normal distribution and normal distribution.
