Abstract
When the drilling and blasting method is used to excavate urban subway tunnels, the blasting seismic waves will inevitably produce vibration effects on the pile foundations under the surface buildings, which will seriously threaten the safety of surrounding buildings and the environment. Based on the transmission and reflection laws of stress waves at the interface between soil medium and pile medium and the displacement–stress continuous assumption, the wave function expansion method is used to analyze the whole process mechanism of vibration effect of hollow pipe piles under the action of incident [Formula: see text] waves. In addition, the theoretical model of safety criterion for hollow pipe piles under blasting vibration is proposed and the reliability of the model is verified. Furthermore, the impacts of the elastic modulus, density, and pile section parameters of soil and piles on the safety criterion for the blasting vibration effect of hollow pipe piles are analyzed. The results show that as the elastic modulus and density of the soil increase, the critical peak particle velocity (PPV) curves of hollow pipe piles move to the high-frequency and low-frequency bands, respectively, resulting in a decrease in the overall safety of piles. This indicates that hollow pipe piles should not be buried in soil layers with high elastic modulus and density. It is also shown that the larger the hollow area of hollow pipe piles, the lower their safety. Compared to solid circular piles, hollow pipe piles have a higher overall seismic safety reserve. The study results have guidance and reference value for effectively evaluating and controlling the harm of blasting vibration effects of hollow pipe piles.
