A Study on the Influence of Soil Thickness on Calculating Bearing Capacity of CEP Pile under Vertical Compression and Tension

In this paper we study the effects of soil thickness to calculate the bearing capacity of Concrete Expanded-Plates (CEP) piles under vertical compression and tension. Through the ANSYS software, a finite element analysis model is established. Then by analyzing the bearing capacity of different soil thickness under vertical compression and tension, the bearing capacity of the pile is determined, and the influence of soil thickness on bearing capacity is calculated. Under vertical load, the calculation model of compression and uplift capacity of single pile is derived. This study provides the theoretical foundations for the engineering calculation of bearing capacity of CEP piles.
