Abstract

The pile will have a large lateral displacement in soft soil under the role of heaped load. Based on Biot consolidation theory, combined with a certain highway project, a three-dimensional FEM model was established, the process that the soil lateral load deformation lead to the pile side displacement was simulated. On the ground of the former result, the influence factors for the displacement of pile top and the pile displacement field distribution are analysed. The results shows that, the building load area, load grade and the distance from loading area to pile have a major influence on the pile side displacement. On the other hand, the load on pile top have a very small contribution for stability of anti-side displacement. The buildings nearby the area of pile foundation should be given attention in practical engineering.
