Abstract:

The paper employes 3D numerical modeling to analyze the soil arching mechanism within embankment by FLAC3D code, based on the finite difference method (FDM). To consider the pile group effect, the 3D mesh of four pile has been created. Related to the constitutive models, the embankment is used Mohr - Coulomb model, the soft soil is represented by modified Cam - clay model, and footing and piles are employed by elasticity model. The numerical results focus on the soil arching phenomena in terms of stress distribution on piles and soft soil, the stress concentration ratio and the stress reduction ratio. Additionally, the axial force along pile and the settlements of embankment, soft soil and pile are studied.
