The ground vibration induced by pile driving affects the safety of the adjacent foundation pit. In this paper, the influence of pile-driving vibration on the soil strength and the nail-soil interface strength was studied, and the variation in the axial force and displacement of the soil nail under vibration was analyzed. The paper studied the effects under different vibration parameters on the soil strength and the nail-soil interface strength by using a vibration exciter and a nail pull-out model box. The results showed that the stronger the excitation force was and the higher the frequency was, the greater the attenuation of the soil strength and nail-soil interface strength was. On the contrary, the change of the internal friction angle of the soil was not obvious under the vibration. The nail-soil interface strength recovered when the vibration terminated. Decreases in c and τp led to an increase in the working length of the soil nail, a redistribution of the axial force, and an augmentation in the soil nail displacement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
