Abstract

Energy piles realize the integration of shallow geothermal energy development and underground engineering structure, and broaden the use function and application field of pile foundation, so they have been widely used, and at the same time promote the development of energy pile analysis theory. The load transfer method has been applied to the calculation and analysis of energy piles due to its advantages of simple calculation and practicality, but the thermo-mechanical load transfer analysis method still has the disadvantages that the calculation results are difficult to converge and do not accurately reflect the actual loading at the top of the pile. The reasons for the pile top error were analyzed, and the iterative method for eliminating the unbalanced force at the pile top of energy piles was established based on the load transfer displacement coordination algorithm of energy piles, so that the calculation results could accurately reflect the actual loading conditions at the pile top, which made the analysis of the thermo-mechanical coupled bearing performance of energy piles more accurate. Combined with the field test, the feasibility of the iterative method for eliminating the unbalanced force at the top of the pile is verified, and the calculation results show that the method can well reflect the effect of the combined load-temperature action on the bearing performance of energy piles.
