description | In order to investigate the cumulative deformation of the pile group in saturated clay under horizontal cyclic loading, a series of 1g model tests were conducted using the self-made loading equipment in this paper. Firstly, the loading equipment and testing procedure are introduced. Then, the cumulative deformation of the pile group, the dynamic response of the soil, and the bending moment of the pile shaft under horizontal cyclic loading are studied. Finally, the horizontal cyclic stiffness of the pile group is analyzed based on the experimental results. It can be found that the cumulative displacement, the rotation angle of the bearing platform, the pile shaft bending moment, and the pore water pressure can attain 90% of the peak values within the first 1000 cycles, and the growth rate slows down in subsequent loading cycles. Moreover, the bending moment of each pile increases with the burial depth and gradually decreases after the peak values. Notably, the horizontal cyclic stiffness of the pile group grows with the cycle loading times and decreases with the loading amplitude. |
