Abstract:Computational models based on structural mechanics are used to analyze the internal forces and deformation of the frame-type double-row anti-slide piles. However, due to simplified assumptions, they have certain limitations in practical engineering applications. Based on a slope engineering project in Badong County, Hubei Province, a three-dimensional continuous-discrete coupling analysis model that incorporated frame-type double-row anti-slide piles and the slope was established using FLAC3D and PFC3D. The gravity increase method was employed to analyze the internal forces and deformation of double-row piles under a given safety factor, and a comparative analysis was conducted to clarify the effects of row spacing, pile spacing, and pile diameter on the internal forces and deformation. The results showed that the continuous-discrete coupling model effectively captured the potential slipping trend of soils behind piles and considered the interaction between piles and soils. The bending moment distribution of the front and back rows of piles exhibited an S-shaped curve, with the front row pile experiencing larger bending moments. The lateral displacements of both front and back rows of piles generally increased gradually from the bottom to the top, with the front pile exhibiting slightly higher displacement than the back row pile. However, due to the constraint effect of the coupling beam, the lateral displacement of the front row pile decreased near the pile top. An increase in the safety factor resulted in an increase in both bending moments and a nonlinear growth in lateral displacements. Wider row spacing led to higher negative bending moments at the top of the front row of pile, while the positive bending moments decreased and the negative bending moments increased for both front and back rows of piles. Increasing pile spacing had little effect on the bending moments at the pile tops, but it resulted in an increase in both positive and negative bending moments for both rows. Larger pile diameters led to an increase in positive bending moment at the top of the back row pile, as well as increases in both positive and negative bending moments for the front row pile. The positive bending moments of the back row pile increased, while the negative bending moments decreased.
