New Mathematical Modelling of Stabilizing Pile with Prestressed Tieback Anchors

Abstract EN

This paper presents a novel mathematical modelling for analyzing stabilizing piles with prestressed tieback anchors.

The new differential equations governing the mechanical response of the stabilizing pile are formulated and the boundary conditions considering the tie-back anchors are mathematically specified.

Then, the system of differential equations is numerically solved by the high-accuracy Runge-Kutta finite difference method.

A simple computer program has been written on the platform of MATLAB to run the procedure of the proposed algorithm.

This approach is entirely different from the traditional finite element method used to design the anchored piles.

The FEM is employed to verify the feasibility of the developed method.

The comparative case study indicates that the proposed method has more higher modeling and computing efficiency than the FEM and can be an alternative method for designing the anchored pile used for slope stabilization.
