Performance of Strip Footing on Slope Stabilized with Inclined Piles and Sheet Piles
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper is the study of effect of inclusion of inclined piles and sheet piles along the slope on performance of strip footing placed near slope crest. The parameters such as number of rows of inclined piles/sheet piles, angle of inclination of piles with vertical and location of inclined piles/sheet piles rows are varied. Length of piles, diameter of piles, height of sheet piles, thickness of sheet piles and setback distance of strip footing from slope crest were kept constant. This is the extension of work done on number of rows of vertical piles at various locations, which is previously published. The model plate load tests were carried out on stabilized and unstabilized sand slopes and the results obtained were then analyzed to study the effect of each varied parameter. The study revealed that provision of rows of inclined piles have a significant effect on bearing capacity of strip footing. This increase was only observed in case of two and three rows of inclined piles. Inclusion of sheet piles rows also enhances the performance of strip footing. The bearing capacity increases as the number of rows of inclined piles/sheet piles increases. This improvement in bearing capacity was observed when sheet pile rows were placed near the slope crest.
