Modelling the performance of overpass gantry piles in a soil mass
Abstract
Modelling the performance of overpass gantry piles in a soil mass
Incoming article date: 15.09.2024The article is based on the results of a scientific study on modelling the operation of the system ‘foundation - ground mass’ of a special type of deep foundation - gantry piles in conditions of ground mass during the construction of the overpass of the M-12 ‘Vostok’ highway. Gantry inclined piles are designed to transfer more load to the foundation than traditional vertical piles. The purpose of this study is to select the angle of inclination of gantry piles for overpass support on the basis of mathematical modelling. The scientific novelty consists in the selection of the gantry pile foundation design for the support of a motorway overpass by mathematical modelling.
