Comparative analysis of the application of self-inspection and testing methods for inclined strut pile bearing capacity
To improve the self inspection efficiency of ultimate bearing capacity of inclined strut piles,this paper introduces a new self inspection method,known as the ultra-rapid load-maintaining method(referred to as the"ultra-rapid method").The Q—S curves of"ultra-rapid method"and"rapid method"for inclined strut piles with the same design parameters are compared and analyzed with engineering examples.Additionally,the Q—S curves of the same inclined strut pile inspected in sequence by"ultra-rapid method"and"rapid method"are compared and analyzed.The analysis results indicate that the inspection results of"ultra-rapid method"and"rapid method"are basically similar,with a deviation of 0-8.7%.The"ultra-rapid method"self-inspection and testing methods is verified to be feasible and the inspection results can be applied to engineering practice.
