Abstract

Piles with a small slenderness ratio (short piles) have the characteristics of high rigidity and small deformation, which meets the requirements for promoting mechanized construction. This paper designs short pile models with three slenderness ratio ratios to test the uplift capacity characteristics of short piles on clay foundations. The load-deformation characteristics and development laws of short pile foundations under different slenderness ratios are studied. The results indicate that the short pile foundation on the clay foundation showed a composite shear failure mode. The ultimate uplift capacity of short pile foundation is positively correlated with the pile slenderness ratio. The theoretical calculation value of short pile foundation is relatively conservative. In the design of short pile foundations, the slenderness ratio of the pile must be controlled to balance economy and performance.
