A New Type of Pile – Long with Cushion-Short without Cushion Rigid Pile

Abstract

At present, in the deep soft soil area, pile types of composite foundation include rigid-flexible and long-short piles, rigid long- short pile , pile partner, and this paper proposes a new type of pile - rigid long-short piles with no cushion short pile. Using the one Finite element software Midas- GTS , this paper compared these pile types ,in vertical direction element stress, pile-soil stress ratio and cushion stress level the cushion of pile-soil stress ratio and stress level, to illustrate the advantages of the new pile.
