Load Transfer of Steel Pipe Piles in Warming Permafrost
Publication: Geo-Congress 2024
ABSTRACT
This paper investigates the altered behaviour of frozen pile-soil interfaces with respect to rising temperature in permafrost regions, especially near melting states. A series of steel model piles, embedded in artificially frozen cohesionless soil, were subjected to both sustained pull-out forces and constant rates of displacement to observe the creep behaviour and acquire the load-deformation curves. The pile-soil temperature was increased from a lower limit of −10°C up to the point of melting to study load transfer and creep behaviour of the pile under different exposure temperatures. Significant reduction of pull-out capacity and accelerated creep behaviour were found to be the primary consequences of rising temperature.
