Study on the Influence of M Value to Internal Force and Deformation for Transverse Bent of High-Piled Wharf

Abstract

As m value is not an inherent property of soil and affected by many factors, limited to the current level of theorey and technology, m value of soil around each pile can not be accurately taken when using “m” method to simulate the pile-soil interaction in engineering. In this paper, finite element software is used for the systematic study on the influence of m value to internal force and deformation for transverse bent of high-piled wharf. By analysis, it is considered that the influence is little and can meet the project accuracy requirements when taking m value through experience.
