The Study on the Engineering Properties of Squeezed Branch Piles under Combined Load

Abstract

In this article, we design an experiment about model piles to study their bearing capacity and deformation properties under uplifting load of different angles, model piles include the equivalent-diameter pile, the squeezed branch pile with single plate and the squeezed branch pile with two plates. The test shows, the bearing capacity of squeezed branch pile is higher than the equivalent-diameter pile, and its plates can resist the horizontal load on the top of pile better.
