Calculation method and model tests of pile frost jacking for railway overhead contact systems in permafrost regions
Cold Regions Science and Technology(2023)
摘要
One of the major challenges encountered in electrification reconstruction project of Golmud-Lhasa section of Qinghai-Tibet railway of China is ensuring the frost jacking stability of the pile foundation of overhead contact system mast (OCSM). To evaluate the resisting frost jacking performance of OCSM pile in permafrost regions, a theoretical model of OCSM pile in permafrost soils under the effect of frost heave was constructed based on superposition principle and deformation coordination relationship between the pile and soil. The model was solved by using the finite difference method combined with MATLAB. Then, large scale model tests were performed to investigate the thermodynamic behaviors of OCSM piles with different sections (equal section circular pile, straight cone cylindrical pile and curved cone cylindrical pile) in the permafrost soils under freeze-thaw actions, after which the theoretical model were validated. It was found that distribution curves of pile axial force obtained by the calculation method is basically consistent with model test results in the overall trend, implying that the calculation model is reasonable and feasible. During soil freezing, the pile is under tension as a whole, and the axial force is greatest near the depth of frost penetration. The maximum value of tangential frostheave stress occurs near the ground surface. The total tangential frost heaving force of the curved cone cylindrical pile is the smallest, and the effect of resisting frost jacking is the best. These research results can provide a reference for resisting frost jacking design of OCSM pile in permafrost regions.
