To study the horizontal bearing behavior of cast-in-place concrete (PCC) pipes, a horizontal static load model test is conducted based on the optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) technology. The deformation distribution in the pile is studied. Results show that the pile moment increases with the horizontal load, whereas the position of the maximum point of moment is roughly unchanged. Moreover, the calculated and measured values of horizontal displacement at the pile top are compared; results show that the values are in agreement, which demonstrates that the deformation of a PCC pile can be successfully measured using the OFDR technology.
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.
