Features: Based on theoretical research and the analysis of experimental data, this book primarily focuses on:
- Verifying the reliability of foundation piles in the current railway bridge and culvert design specifications using calibration methods and determining their target reliability indices;
- Calculating and determining the load-bearing capacity partial factors of foundation piles;
- Conducting statistical analysis and variability studies on the diameters of drilled pile foundations;
- Carrying out research on the self-correlation of soil properties and the application of soil property stochastic field theory;
- Proposing theoretical design expressions for the axial load-bearing reliability of driven piles and drilled pile foundations.
The book is divided into six chapters, covering the following content: Introduction, General Principles and Methods of Probabilistic Limit State Analysis of Foundation and Subgrade, Probabilistic Limit State Analysis and Research of Piles, Probabilistic Limit State Analysis of Pressure Grouting Drilled Piles, and Conclusion. Among these chapters, simple examples are provided in the analysis and research of the probabilistic limit state method for piles. At the end of the book, appendices list the standard values of the ultimate side friction resistance of driven piles and drilled pile foundations, as well as the ultimate bearing capacity of end-bearing soil.
This book can serve as a teaching material for postgraduate students in geotechnical engineering at universities and can also be referenced by a broad range of civil engineering professionals.
