摘要
Pile foundations supporting high-rise buildings are generally subject to cyclic loading because of dynamic loading. The corrosion of steel materials in pile foundations is another major concern, especially for piles in a marine environment. In this study, a series of cyclic and static loading tests on model piles made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and seawater-sea sand concrete (SSC) and ended in a rock socket were reported. Three structural configurations (FRP tube-confined, FRP rebar cage-reinforced, and centered FRP rebar-reinforced) were adopted for the model piles. Strain along the depth of the piles was measured using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) optic sensors and an advanced distributed optical sensing technique known as optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR). Strain distribution, axial cyclic stiffness, and shaft friction mobilization of the piles under static and different modes of axial cyclic loading were analyzed and explored in detail. The test results indicated that the FRP tube-confined model pile showed higher confinement and cyclic capacity and lower stiffness degradation, leading to relatively more stable behavior. A high level of cyclic loading can cause microcracks to form and grow within the pile material, thereby decreasing pile stiffness. The strain profile of all the piles along the depth appeared to follow a similar trend, and fluctuations at certain points led to failure. Cyclic stiffness showed gains initially when cyclic load conditions were below a certain threshold level but degraded when loading was increased beyond it. Moreover, shaft resistance gradually increased with cycles, causing higher mobilization in the upper portion of the socket. The experimental results have provided the first systematic study on the performance of the FRP-SSC composite model piles ended in rock sockets under axial cyclic and static loadings. This will contribute to development of a potential predictive method for pile settlement and capacity for the better design of rock-socketed piles.
