Abstract EN
Piles are extensively used as a means of slope stabilization.
A novel engineering technique of truncated piles that are unlike traditional piles is introduced in this paper.
A simplified numerical method is proposed to analyze the stability of slopes stabilized with truncated piles based on the shear strength reduction method.
The influential factors, which include pile diameter, pile spacing, depth of truncation, and existence of a weak layer, are systematically investigated from a practical point of view.
The results show that an optimum ratio exists between the depth of truncation and the pile length above a slip surface, below which truncating behavior has no influence on the piled slope stability.
This optimum ratio is bigger for slopes stabilized with more flexible piles and piles with larger spacing.
Besides, truncated piles are more suitable for slopes with a thin weak layer than homogenous slopes.
In practical engineering, the piles could be truncated reasonably while ensuring the reinforcement effect.
The truncated part of piles can be filled with the surrounding soil and compacted to reduce costs by using fewer materials.
