Calculation of Ring Pile-Slab Foundation Under Condition of Part of the Slab in the Same Plane

Abstract

The problem of calculating a ring slab on piles on an elastic foundation is considered, provided that a part of the slab is in the same plane. A similar problem arises in practice when calculating the pile-slab foundation of chimneys of a thermal power plant. The calculation is performed using the method of B. N. Zhemochkin – a mixed method of structural mechanics, where the unknown forces in the cut connections of B. N. Zhemochkin at the contact of the slab and the elastic base, the linear and angular displacements of the introduced pinching on the slab, the springs that simulate the piles and the unknown forces that cause movement of part of the annular slab in one plane. The external vertical force and moment are considered as known. A system of linear algebraic equations has been formed in a general form to solve the problem. The results are obtained for a circular pile-slab foundation of a chimney. Graphs are presented of the distribution of contact stresses, displacements for several sections of the foundation slab, forces in piles and external loads that cause movement of a part of the slab in one plane. The results obtained can be included in the regulatory documents of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation.
