2 Analysis of Pile Foundations and Load Tests 桩型选择与试桩设计 Jiangbin Wu, Weidong Wang, Yuting Huang, Xiangjun Wang & Shubo Nie, East China Architectural Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd. 吴江斌, 王卫东, 黄昱挺, 王向军 & 聂书博, 华东建筑设计研究总院 This chapter describes the pile design and the static loading tests of the megatall Suzhou Zhongnan Center tower and its deep basement. Large-diameter and super-long bored piles were adopted to support the main tower. Full-scale loading tests of four piles embedded in two different bearing strata were carried out. For the two piles embedded in the 13-2 fine sand layer, the pile toe depth is 110 meters from grade level, and the maximum test load is 40,000 kn. For the other two piles embedded in 13-1 silty sand layer, the pile toe depth is 95 meters. Punching failures were observed after the test loads reached 26,000 kn and 32,000 kn, respectively. Tension piles were used to resist the buoyancy at the podium basement space area. The tension capacity was enhanced by post-shaft grouting. Testing results show that the ultimate tension capacities of three test piles with shaft grouting are 6,600 kn, 7,800 kn and 9,000 kn respectively. The design, construction and loading of test piles provided technical support information and guided the pile foundation design of this project. 主塔楼自重荷载大且风和地震荷载工况复杂, 纯地下室区抗浮突出, 桩基的设计和施工难度大 结合本工程土层性状及及近年来桩基技术发展, 对苏州中南中心大厦桩型选择进行了分析, 主塔楼承压桩采用了大直径超长灌注桩, 试桩桩径为 1100mm, 开展了两种持力层的对比试验共 4 组, 其中 A 型试桩 2 组, 以 13-2 粉细砂层为持力层, 桩端埋深约 110m;B 型试桩 2 组, 以 13-1 粉砂夹为持力层, 桩端埋深约为 95m 试桩采用桩端与桩侧联合后注浆工艺, 桩身混凝土强度达到 C55 试验结果表明,A 型桩在最大加载值 40000kN 作用下并未桩顶沉降并未出现陡降破坏, 而 B 型桩分别在 27000kN 和 32000kN 后出现明显的陡降破坏 纯地下室区域采用了桩侧后注浆抗拔桩, 试桩桩径为 800mm, 有效桩长约 35m, 采用 3 道桩侧后注浆工艺, 共进行 3 组载荷试验, 其极限承载力分别为 6600kN 7800kN 9000kN 为工程桩的设计和施工提供了指南, 为类似超高层建筑桩基选型提供了有益参考 Introduction Suzhou Zhongnan Center has a 5-level basement with an embedment depth of around 35 meters. The structural system of the tower consists of reinforced concrete core-tubes, steelreinforced concrete megacolumns, belt and outrigger trusses, and a composite floor system. The vertical gravity load of the tower is up to 9,300,000 kn, with 50% of the total load resisted by the core-tube. The load in each megacolumn is 360,000 kn and the load in corner column is about 240,000 kn. The projection area of the core-tube in horizontal plan is around 1,250 m 2 and the average sub-grade pressure is 3,270 kpa. The area of the tower raft is 6,460 m 2 and the average sub-grade pressure is 3,270 kpa. Under such a load, the bearing capacity and deformation control of the main tower pile foundation are vitally important. In addition, due to the embedment depth of basement and high phreatic water levels, the foundation endures gigantic buoyancy. Handling buoyancy at the podium basement area is a primary challenge. Considering the pile foundation development in recent years and the soil properties of the site, engineers studied the bearing pile types in the tower area and the tension piles in the podium basement area. Afull-scale field test including the bearing capacity and bearing behavior of test piles was conducted. The test provided reference for the design and construction of engineering piles for the Zhongnan Tower and other similar high-rise building pile foundations. Site Soil Conditions Suzhou Zhongnan Center is located in the Suzhou Industrial CBD. The construction site is in a river delta and a lacustrine deposit plain landform. The grade level is flat and the elevation is around 4.0m (above sea level). From ground surface to 218 meters below grade, soils pertain to quaternary early Pleistocene Q1 and later sedimentary layers, consisting of saturate clay, silt and sand. The soils can be divided into 13 main layers according to sediment age and physical and mechanical properties, shown in Table 4.5. 工程概况 苏州中南中心设置 5 层地下室, 基础埋深约 32m 主塔楼结构体系包含 : 钢筋混凝土核心筒 钢骨混凝土巨柱 环带桁架和组合楼面体系 其中塔楼平面由纵横各五道剪力墙 八个巨柱和四个角柱组成, 如图 1 所示 巨柱, 核心筒, 环带桁架同时为抗侧力体系 对于超高层建筑选用重量相对较轻的组合楼面体系, 该体系由砼板, 压型钢板和钢梁组成 中南中心结构复杂 荷载大, 结构自重约 930 万 kn, 核心筒约占 50%, 单个巨柱荷载约 36 万 kn, 角柱荷载约 24 万 kn 核心筒投影面积约 1250m 2, 平均基底压力达 3270kPa 塔楼厚板面积约 6460m2, 平均基底压力达 1440kPa 如此大的荷载, 对主塔楼基础的承载力和变形控制都提出了较高的要求 此外, 基础埋置深度大 潜水水位高, 基础承受巨大的水浮力, 纯地下室区域抗浮问题突出 结合本工程土层性状及近年来桩基技术发展, 对苏州中南中心大厦塔楼区域承压桩桩型和纯地下室区域抗拔桩桩型选择进行了分析, 开展了现场试桩承载力静载试验, 为桩型的确定 承载力取值, 及承载与变形特性的认识提供了依据 指导了工程桩的设计和施工, 为类似超高层建筑桩基选型提供了有益参考 112 Geotechnical and Sub-Surface Engineering

3 Soil layer name Thickness γ/ c Φ fs fp The soils from grade to a depth of 90 meters below grade are mainly composed of silty clay and silt interbedded with silty clay. Due to the high clay content, those layers are not adequate to be the pile foundation-bearing stratum of the main tower. The dense (13-1) silty sand layer and (13-2) fine sand layers are good bearing strata. Selection of Pile Types Steel-pipe piles have typically been used for such supertall buildings as the 420-meter Jin Mao Tower and the 492-meter high Shanghai World Financial Center in the 1990s. Due to the limitation of construction equipment ability, it is difficult for steel pipe piles to penetrate through the deep and thick sand layers to reach soils of high bearing capacity. Therefore, the ultimate bearing capacity of a single pile used in those two high buildings is not more than 10,000 kn. Moreover, the cost of steel piles is very high. To attain the same capacity as bored piles, the cost of a steel-pipe pile is about 50% more expensive. Compared with the steel-pipe piles, bored piles have the advantages of controlling soil compaction and reducing construction noise. Since 2000, the development and improvement of the design and engineering methods of bored piles with post-grouting has meant that the bored pile has become the most popular pile type used for the supertall buildings. The total load of the Zhongnan Center core required the bearing capacity of a single pile to be more than 15,000 kn. In the history of previous high-rise construction in Suzhou and other areas with similar soil conditions, the diameter of piles had been no more than 1,100 mm and the length had been no more than 90 meters from grade level. Further, the allowable capacity had been no more than 12,000 kn. Although, the large-diameter and super-long bored piles with post-grouting were clearly the necessary choice, the choice of the bearing layer for the bored pile was still difficult. Based on the geological conditions of the site, layer 13-1 and layer 13-2 were possible candidates to be the bearing layer 地质概况 苏州中南中心地位于苏州工业园区金鸡湖湖西 CBD 商圈核心区, 地貌类型为三角洲 湖积平原, 场地内地势较平坦, 场地地面高程约为 4.0m 在 218.7m~250m 范围内为全风化 ~ 强风化基岩,218.7m 深度以上范围的地基土均为第四系早更新世 Q1 及其后期的沉积土层, 主要由粘性土 粉土 砂土组成 根据土层的沉积年代与物理力学性质, 主要分为 13 个层次 场地土层及参数如表 1 所示, 桩基相关土层分布及特点如表 4.5 所示 埋深 90m 范围内为第 4~12 层土, 主要为和粉砂夹, 其粘粒含量高, 不适宜作为本项目主塔楼桩基持力层 其下的 13-1 粉砂层和 13-2 粉砂层皆是较理想的主塔楼桩基持力层 桩型选择 土层名称 (1) fill 填充层 (4) silty clay (5) Sandy silt 砂质粘土 (6) silty clay (8) 1 silty clay (8) 2 silty clay interbeded with silt 与淤泥夹层 (9) Silty sand 粉质砂土 (10) 1 silty clay (10) 2 silty clay (11) Silt interbeded with silty clay 淤泥与夹层 (12) 1 clay 粘土 (12) 2 silty clay (13) 1 Silty sand (13) Interlayersilty clay (13) 2 fine sand 细砂 Table 4.5.

With a buried depth of about 90 meters, layer 13-1 consists of dense silty sand, and the Pc value of a cone penetration test is about 16 MPa; whereas the standard penetration test value is about 68. Layer 13-1 is a good supporting layer for the pile foundation. Underneath the 13-1 layer is a silty clay layer, whose cone penetration test Pc value is only about 4 MPa, where the standard penetration test value is about 25. The existence of a soft layer brings uncertainty to the choice of 13-1 as a supporting layer for the tower pile foundation. When the layer of 13-1 was chosen to be the supporting layer, according to local experience, the bearing capacity of a single pile with normal diameter would be unlikely to reach 15,000kN. Furthermore, the existing soft substratum will have negative influence on the group piles settlement. The 13-2 layer consists of dense fine sand and the Pc value of its cone penetration test is about 24 MPa. Situated at 105 meters below the grade and with a thickness of about 40 meters, the 13-2 layer is a better bearing layer than the 13-1layer. The disadvantage is that the bored pile would have to be prohibitively long, with a drilling depth of 110 meters from grade level. Based on the above analysis, layers 13-1 and 13-2 are two candidates for pile bearing layers. The pile-loading comparison tests were developed to provide valuable results to help engineer the selection of the supporting layer. Pile Selection of the Podium Region The five-story tall podium has a 30-meter-deep basement. The water table is about 0.5 meters below the ground surface, which necessitates anti-buoyancy structural interventions. It is 桩, 以 13-1 粉细砂层为持力层, 桩端埋深约 90m, 试桩最大加载至 24000kN 本工程主塔楼荷载大, 预估单桩承载力达 15000kN, 根据国内软土地区在建的 600m 超高层建筑并结合苏州本地超高层建筑的经验, 必将采用大直径超长的后注浆灌注桩, 预估桩径不小于 1100mm, 桩端持力层的选择是一个难点 第 13-2 层细砂层分布稳定, 层厚约 40m, 呈密实状态, 静力触探 qc 约 24MPa, 标贯大于 50 击, 是理想的持力层, 但该层层顶埋深达到约 105m 第 13-1 层粉细砂层层顶埋深约 90m, 呈密实状态, 静力触探 qc 约 16MPa, 也是较好的持力层 但该层下卧有可塑至硬塑状的夹层, 静力触探 qc 约 4.0MPa 因此, 桩端进入 13-1 层粉细砂层不能太深, 需离下部软弱夹层不小于 4 倍桩径 由于本工程基础埋深约 35m, 以 13-1 层为持力层时, 桩端埋深约 95m, 实际有效桩长为 60m, 根据实步估算及前述两个以该层为持力层超高层建筑桩基静载试验, 其单桩承载力较难满足 15000kN 特征值的要求 此外,13-1 层以下的夹层也会对群桩沉降带来不利影响 为了进一步探讨 13-1 层为塔楼桩基持力层的可行性, 后续开展了以 13-2 层和 13-1 层分别为持力层的桩基静载试验 纯地下室抗拔桩桩型选择本工程纯地下室区域基础埋置深度约 30m, 苏州地区抗浮水位可取地面以下 0.5m, 因此基底承受巨大的水浮力, 远大于纯地下区域结构自重 据初步估算, 一个 8.4m 见方柱网承受的水浮力达 10000kN 以上 按 4 桩布置方式初步估算, 单桩抗拔承载力特征值约 2500kN 常规的等截面抗拔桩仅靠桩周侧摩阻力提供抗拔力, 且灌注桩成孔施工广泛采用泥浆护壁工艺, 往往形成桩身泥皮降低侧阻及抗拔承载力 本项目纯地下室面积大 埋置深, 抗拔桩的工程量与投资较大, 如何对现有抗拔桩型进行改进, 提高承载力并降低造价是业主迫切关心的问题 扩底抗拔桩通过改变桩端截面提高承载力, 桩侧后注浆抗拔桩则通过注浆改善桩土接触面特性提高承载力, 两者皆以较小的混凝土或水泥浆材料增加获取显著的承载力提高, 已成为桩基础的一个发展方向 114 Geotechnical and Sub-Surface Engineering

5 estimated that uplift force due to buoyancy could reach 10,000 kn for the typical column bay of 8.4 m x 8.4 m. The tension force in single piles is about 2,500 kn when four tension piles are placed in a typical bay. It is known that the tension capacity of a normal bored pile is provided by the skin friction of the pile. Compared with driven prefabricated piles, the tension capacity of bored piles is smaller because of the slurry protection drilling method, in which the mud paste weakens the skin friction. As there will be a large quantity of tension piles, the owner and engineers had an extensive discussion about how to improve the tension pile capacity and reduce the construction cost. The pedestal pile changes the cross-section of the pile tip to increase the tension capacity. The pile with shaft-grouting can increase the tension capacity by changing the interface property between the pile and the soil. Engineering practice has shown that both types of tension piles can increase the uplift bearing capacity significantly with limited construction cost increase. For example, the tension piles with shaft grouting were used in the 606-meter Wuhan Greenland Center. The diameter of the side-grouting uplift piles on that project was 700 mm and the effective pile length was 22 meters. It is estimated that without grouting, the pile length would have to have been more than 29 meters. The savings from pile-length reduction are significant. At the Suzhou Zhongnan Center, the buried depth of the basement is about 30 meters. Experience has shown that, when the pile bearing layer is deep, the pedestal tension pile is not always the best choice, because it is hard to control. The formation of the expanded head is imprecise and the construction efficiency is low. Comparatively, when the pile length is long, it is a better choice to use the tension pile with grouting, because it is more feasible to control construction quality and cost. Consequently, tension piles with side grouting were the better choice for this project. Design of Test Piles Test Piles of Tower Building According to the calculated building loads of the Suzhou Zhongnan Center tower, the required bearing capacity of a single pile is more than 15,000 kn. Whether the supporting layer is 13-1 or 13-2, the bored pile would still have to be very long. Constructors in Suzhou have little experience of bored piles with such high capacities. Therefore, a pile loading test should be done first to test the feasibility. Pile tests may reveal some technical problems, which include the borehole quality. Pile tests also reveal the construction efficiencies of large-diameter and super-long bored piles in the deep and thick sand layers, the quality of high-strength concrete constructed underwater, the technique of toe-shaft post grouting, and the bearing capacities and settlement properties under loading. The diameter of the test piles and reaction piles is 1,100mm. Full-scale loading tests of four piles embedded in two different bearing strata were carried out. Type A piles, labeled SYZA1 and SYZA2, are embedded in the 13-2 fine-sand layer. The pile toe depth is 110 meters. Type B piles labeled SYZB1 and SYZB2 are embedded in the 13-1 silty-sand layer. The pile toe depth is 95 meters. All four test piles are post-grouted, bored piles. The predicted maximum testing load is 40,000 kn. Grade C55 concrete was used first for the test piles to ensure the pile body would not be crushed under such a large testing load. The arrangement of the test piles and reaction pilesis shown in Figure Sections of the soil profile and the test pile are shown in Figure Grade P42.5 fresh Portland cement was used for post-grouting. A total of 3,500 kg of cement was used for toe post-grouting of single piles. The water cement ratio is There were 正在建设的华中第一高楼武汉绿地中心纯地下室区域采用了桩径为 700mm 的桩侧后注浆抗拔桩, 有效桩长为 22m, 比常规抗拔桩减少 7m, 效益明显 据初步估算, 在相同 800mm 桩径下, 常规等截面桩有效桩长约 45m, 而采用扩底抗拔桩和等截面抗拔桩可将桩长减小 10m, 其经济效益明显 由于本工程基础埋置深度达 30m, 采用扩底抗拔桩的桩端埋深约 65m, 扩底施工难度大, 且调换扩底钻头的工效也较低 因此, 本工程采用桩侧后注浆抗拔桩, 由于桩径较大 桩长较长, 其施工可行性和承载力的提高比例都更有保证 试桩设计 承压桩试桩根据苏州中南中心荷载的要求, 单桩极限承载力不小于 30000kN, 必将选择桩端埋深 95~110m 的大直径超长灌注桩 如此高承载力的大直径超长桩在苏州地区没有先例, 需要通过桩型试验论证成桩的可行性和质量的可靠性 包括深厚砂层中大直径超长钻孔桩的成孔质量与工效, 特别是垂直度 沉渣的控制 ; 桩端桩侧联合后注浆工艺参数与可靠性 ; 高强度等级的混凝土在水下浇筑后是否能满足要求 ; 桩基极限承载力取值 以上述主要技术问题为出发点, 从试桩设计 施工 检测等方面进行了精细的桩型试验设计, 解决工程关心的问题 苏州中南中心主塔楼承压桩的试桩及锚桩皆采用直径为 1100mm 的灌注桩 试桩试验分为 4 组, 每组包括 1 根承压试桩和 4 根锚桩 为了减少工程量, 试锚桩的布置如图 4.15 所示, 共 4 根试桩 9 根锚桩 为了进行不同持力层的比较,A 型试桩 2 组, 以 13-2 粉细砂层为持力层, 桩端埋深约 110m ;B 型试桩桩 2 组, 以 13-1 粉砂夹为持力层, 桩端埋深约为 95m 为了得到极限承载力, 本次试桩最大加载能力要求达 40000kN, 为了保证试桩桩身强度不破坏, 首次将试桩桩身混凝土等级设计为 C55, 同时为工程桩采用高标号混凝土提供经验, 锚桩的桩身混凝土设计强度等级为 C35 图 4.15 试桩与锚桩的平面安排 图 4.14 土壤与试桩剖面 岩土与地下工程 115

6 three grouting pipes fixed on the pile reinforcement cage for post-toe grouting. There was one grouting section about 30 meters above pile toe for shaft-side post-grouting. A total of 1,500 kg of cement was used for this shaft-side post-grouting. The water-to-cement ratio used for shaftside post-grouting was Post grouting should be operated after the strength of the pile concrete reaches 70% of the design strength. Pile shaft grouting should be operated earlier than toe post-grouting to prevent the cement slurry from escalating along the shaft and weakening the effect of toe grouting. In order to directly measure the bearing capacity of the pile within the effective length, double steel sleeves were used to separate the pile shaft from the soil above the final excavation elevation of the foundation pit. As shown in Figure 4.14, the diameters of external and internal sleeves were 1,310 mm and 1,200 mm, respectively. The thickness of both the external and internal sleeves was 14 mm. Steel ring ribs were installed every 5 meters along the external surface of the internal sleeve. The net distance between the ring ribs and the internal surface of the external sleeve was about 9 mm. It was necessary to seal the bottom between the external and internal sleeves to keep the slurry out. Test Piles at Podium Basement Area The diameter of the podium tensile pile was 800 mm. There were three test piles and four reaction piles in the loading test. The pile length is about 60 meters, and Grade C35 concrete was used for the test piles. All three test piles were shaft-grouted bored piles. There were three grouting locations along the pile shaft, and the lowest grouting location was 3 meters above the pile tip. The other two grouting locations were spaced at 12 meters. A total of 600 kg of cement was used for each grouting location. The interface between pile and soil is the channel of shaft grouting. Because the pressure of the upper part of the shaft is less than the lower part, the cement slurry will always escalate along the shaft upwards. In order to restrict the extent of 试桩皆采用桩端注浆结合桩侧注浆的联合注浆工艺 桩端注浆采用 P42.5 级新鲜普通硅酸盐水泥配制的浆液, 水泥用量为 3500kg, 水灰比为 0.5~0.6 桩身对称设置 3 根注浆管, 下端与单向阀式注浆器相连, 桩端注浆器应插入孔底以下 0.2~0.5m 本工程有效桩长较长, 根据规范和类似工程经验, 可设置 2~3 道桩侧后注浆以提高承载力 但从便于施工和节约造价的角度, 试桩仅设置一道桩侧注浆断面, 位于桩端以上约 30m 处, 桩侧压浆水泥用量加大至 1500kg 桩身混凝土达到设计强度的 70% 后开始注浆, 先进行桩侧注浆, 再进行桩端注浆, 桩端注浆分二次进行, 第一次注浆水泥用量为 2t, 第二次注浆水泥用量 1.5t 第二次注浆在第一次注浆完成 1~2 小时后进行 试桩采用双套管隔约 35m 开挖段桩身与土体的接触, 以直接测试有效桩长范围内的桩基承载力 如图 4.14 所示, 外套管内径为 1310mm, 内套管内径 1200mm, 壁厚皆为 14mm 内外钢套管之间每隔 5m 设置环形的防失稳支撑肋, 支撑肋与内套管焊接, 支撑肋与外套管内壁的间距为 9mm 为防止混凝土和桩侧注浆的浆液沿内 外套管之间空隙上泛, 需对外套管管底进行封堵, 采取有效措施保证确实隔离 抗拔桩试桩设计抗拔桩试桩皆采用直径为 800mm 的灌注桩, 桩端埋深约 65m, 桩身混凝土设计强度等级为 C35 共设置 3 组试桩, 包括 3 根抗拔试桩和 4 根反力桩 抗拔试桩为桩侧后注浆抗拔桩, 每根试桩设置 3 道桩侧后注浆断面, 最下一道注浆断面离桩端约 3m, 其上每隔 12m 设置一道注浆断面 每道注浆断面的水泥用量为 0.6 吨 桩侧注浆由上而下进行, 桩侧每个断面注浆间隔时间不小于 1 小时 由于纯地下室区域埋置深度达 30m, 而工程桩有效桩长约 30m, 开挖段桩侧摩阻力对整根桩承载力的影响巨大 为了便加精确地通过试桩评价工程桩的承载力, 也采用了长达 30m 的双套管隔离开挖面以上的桩侧摩阻力 外套管内径为 1000mm, 内套管内径 900mm, 壁厚皆为 10mm Figure Arrangement of test piles and reaction piles 图 试锚桩平面布置图 116 Geotechnical and Sub-Surface Engineering

7 Fill layer, loose silty clayplastic~soft-plastic medium Sandy siltslightly dense,medium Double steel sleeve silty claysoft-plastic medium rising cement slurry, the grouting sequence is top-down, because the condensation of upper grouting may prevent the escalation of lower grouting. As with the tower pile tests, double steel sleeves were used in podium pile tests to separate the pile shaft from soil. Above the final excavation elevation was the foundation pit. The external and internal sleeves were 1,000 mm and 900 mm in diameter respectively. The thickness of both the external and internal sleeves was 10 mm. Results and Analysis Construction Implementation The test piles and reaction piles were constructed by a GPS-20 boring machine. The boreholes were formed by a normalcirculation rotary drilling method. The methods to scour the boreholes were pump suction and reverse-circulation washing. During the piles construction, the pile boreholes were supported using high-quality bentonite slurry. In order to maintain the bentonite support capabilities, a decontamination plant was used to filter the silty sand. The sand ratio of the slurry should be lower than 4%. This is beneficial for controlling the whole diameter and feculence. Three-ring and double-waist hoop bits were used to improve the quality of the boreholes. The average construction time to complete one borehole was 70 hours. The average time to place one reinforcement cage of a test pile into the borehole was eight hours. The average time to fill the borehole with concrete was 4.0 hours. The total time to construct one test pile was five days. Concrete consumption of one pile was 70 m 3.

The tension piles were constructed by a GPS-15 boring machine. The boreholes were formed by the normal-circulation rotary drilling method. The methods to scour the boreholes were pump suction and reverse-circulation washing. The average time was 50 hours to form one borehole. The minimum diameter of the piles was 800 mm. The maximum diameters of the piles lay between 901 mm and 1,038 mm. The average vertical deviation of the piles is 1/400. The filling coefficients lay between 1.07 and 1.12, with an average of Loading Test Results of Tower Compression Bearing Piles Load-settlement curves of the four test piles are shown in Figure With the increase of the test load, the settlements of piles SYZA1 and SYZA2 grew slowly and firmly. Under the load of 40,000 kn on the top of the piles, the pile top of SYZA1 settled mm and the pile bottom settled 8.4 mm. The SYZA2 pile top settled mm and the pile bottom settled 11.2 mm. In each stage of loading, the settlement of the pile top changed smoothly without punching failure. Punching failure occurs when the settlement under the current loading stage is five times that of settlement under the previous loading stage. Both SYZA1 and the SYZA2 did not fail. The pile self-deformation under compression is the chief component of pile-top settlement, and it accounted for more than 80% of total pile-top settlement in this experiment. After unloading the piles, the rebound ratios of both piles were over 65%. According to the specifications, when the Load-Settlement Curve is slowly changing, the bearing capacity of the pile is equal to the test load when the pile-top settlement reaches 40 mm. The elastic compression deformation of piles should be considered when the length of the pile is over 40 meters. Although the settlement of the actual pile top of SYZA1 is under a maximum load of 40,000 kn, it is mm, greater than 40 mm or the effective length of the pile. SYZA1 is 75 meters and pile compression is about 38 mm. Therefore, the ultimate bearing capacity of pile SYZA1 is determined as 40,000 kn. The actual settlement of the pile top of SYZA2, under a maximum load of 40,000 kn, is 63.4 mm, greater than SYZA1. The ultimate bearing capacity of pile SYZA1 was determined to be 36,000 kn kN SYZA2 大最大加载值 40000kN 作用下, 试桩顶变形为 mm, 工程桩顶处的变形为 63.4mm, 明显大于 SYZA1 SYZA2 在 36000kN 作用下试桩顶变形为 85.79mm, 与 SYZA1 相近, 取其极限承载力为 36000kN 如图 4.17(a) (b) 所示, 试桩 SYZB1 SYZB2 在桩顶荷载增加至 30000kN 和 34000kN 时, 桩顶位移急剧增大呈陡降破坏, 且工程桩桩顶 桩中 桩端三个位置沉降量接近, 表明桩体发生刺入破坏, 试桩 SYZB1 刺入变形量约为 45mm, 试桩 SYZB2 刺入变形量约为 78mm, 卸载后回弹率仅为 30%, 表明桩周及桩端土体承载力达到极限 取陡降起始点对应的荷载为极限承载力, 试桩 SYZB1 SYZB2 的极限承载力分别为 27000kN,32000kN 静载试验结果表明,13-2 粉细砂层为持力层的 A 型桩在最大加载 40000kN 没有发生破坏, 按沉降控制其极限承载力不小于 36000kN 以 13-1 粉砂夹为持力层的 B 型桩则皆加载至破坏, 其极限承载力可取 27000kN 可见 A 型桩由于桩端持力层比 B 型桩好, 且有效桩长增加 10m, 其承载力明显更高, 是主塔楼工程桩的主要桩型 在工程桩设计时, 可根据群桩计算结果及变刚度调平设计的理念, 在巨柱外围区域荷载较小的桩基采用 B 型桩 Pile number 桩号 SBZ1 SBZ2 SBZ3 Pile toe burying depth 桩端埋深 Effective Pile Length 有效桩长 Maximum load 最大荷载 /kn Pile head movement 桩头弯矩 /mm Pile toe movement 桩端弯矩 /mm resilience 弹性 Resilience ratio 弹性比 Ultimate load 极限荷载 /kn 30 9, >9, , , , , Displacement corrisponding to Ultimate load 极限荷载对应位移 /mm Table 4.7.

9 Figure Q-S curves of compression piles 图 承压桩静载 Q~S 曲线 As shown in Figures 4.17a and b, the load-settlement curves are almost linear before the piles are loaded to reach failure. The settlements of pile SYZB1 and SYZB2 increased rapidly after the failure loads were reached. The settlement values at three locations (the pile top, the middle and the toe) are almost the same. This indicates that punching failures occurred. The punching settlements of pile SYZB1 and SYZB2 are 45 mm and 78 mm, respectively. The rebound ratios are about 30%. The ultimate bearing capacity of piles SYZB1 and SYZB2 were determined as 27,000 kn and 32,000 kn respectively. Test results show that pile A, embedded in layer 13-2, did not fail under the maximum 40,000 kn load and that the ultimate bearing capacity was not less than 36,000 kn, according to deformation control. Pile B, embedded in layer 13-1, failed in the process of loading and the ultimate bearing capacity was 27,000 kn. Because pile A is supported on a better bearing stratum and its effective length is 10 meters longer than pile B, the bearing capacity of pile A is better. Pile A was therefore chosen as the main pile to support the tower. Pile B may be placed in the area where the pile load is relatively small according to foundation analysis at the detailed design stage. Loading Test Results of Tension Piles With the increase of loading, the settlement of pile SBZ1 grows slowly. Under the load of 9,000 kn, the upward movement of SBZ1 is mm, and the the ultimate tension capacity is determined as 9,000 kn. When the load on SBZ2 and SBZ3 grows to 8,400 kn and 7,200 kn, respectively, the upward movements increase sharply and exceed 100 mm.

10 about 20%. The ultimate tension capacities of pile SBZ2 and SBZ3 were determined as 7,800 kn and 6,600 kn. The test results show that the ultimate tension capacity of all bored piles with shaft grouting can meet the requirements of 5,000 kn. The length of a pile can be further optimized at the detailed pile-design stage. The test results of three piles vary greatly. Great attention should be paid to the quality control of shaft grouting during the construction. Conclusion Suzhou Zhongnan Center is one of the tallest buildings under construction in China. The bearing capacity and deformation control of pile foundations are strict because of the large building loads. The buoyancy problem is serious because of the dilemma of having a deep basement and a high water table. It is a difficult task to find the pile foundation solution that is suitable for a site with soft soils highlighted by clay and silty clay. Based on the geological conditions of the site and the local experiences, the large-diameter and superlong bored piles with toe-shaft grouting were used for the tower. The shaft-grouting uplift piles were used in the podium of the underground space region. Static load tests of the piles with diameters of 1,100 mm showed that when the pile with 75 meters effective length is supported on the 13-2 fine sand layer, the ultimate bearing capacity is more than 36,000 kn. When the pile with 65 meters effective length is founded in the 13-1 silty sand layer, the ultimate bearing capacity is about 27,000 kn. The bearing capacity of the pile Figure Q-S curves of tension piles 图 抗拔桩静载 Q~S 曲线 120 Geotechnical and Sub-Surface Engineering

11 is greatly impacted by its supporting soil layer. Further, it is necessary to consider the requirements of the force and deformation control for the selection of the pile bearing stratum. The ultimate bearing capacity of the tension pile can be enhanced significantly by shaft grouting. While the tension pile with shaft grouting is 800 mm in diameter and 30 meters in effective length, the ultimate bearing capacity is more than 6,600 kn. Engineers verified the feasibility of pile construction and acquired the bearing capacity through pile tests. The results provided valuable information for the detailed design and construction of the pile foundation of this project, and can serve as guidelines for other similar high-rise buildings. 结论 苏州中南中心大厦是国内在建的最高建筑之一, 主塔楼荷载大, 桩基础的承载力和变形控制要求高, 基础埋置深度大, 纯地下室抗浮问题突出 场地为深厚的粘土 粉土和砂性土, 桩基的选型与设计难度大 结合本工程土层性状及近年来桩基技术发展, 对苏州中南中心大厦桩型选择进行了分析, 主塔楼采用桩端与桩侧联合后注浆的大直径超长灌注桩, 地下室采用桩侧后注浆抗拔桩 开展了现场单桩承载力静载试验, 试验结果表明, 对于直径为 1100mm 的灌注桩, 当以 13-2 粉细砂层为持力层时, 极限承载力不小于 36000kN; 当以 13-1 粉砂夹为持力层时, 其极限承载力为 27000kN 持力层和桩长对单桩承载力的影响明显, 工程桩设计需根据不同受荷及变形控制要求, 选择不同的持力层 桩侧后注浆可大幅提高单桩抗拔承载力, 对于 800mm 直径, 有效桩长为 30m 的桩侧后注浆抗拔桩, 其极限承载力大于 6600kN 桩型试验验证了施工可行性 桩基承载力及桩身质量, 同时确定了一套指导工程桩大面积施工的标准化指南, 为苏州中心工程桩的设计与施工打下了坚实的基础, 为类似超高层建筑桩基设计提供了有益参考 References ( 参考书目 ): JGJ Technical Code For Testing of Building Foundation Piles.
