Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Cushion is one of the key parts of the composite foundation to keep pile and soil working together.Based on the numerical analysis with FEM,some useful conclusions about cushion were drawn.The results of analysis show that the stiffness and thickness of the cushion have effect on the settlement of composite foundation and the stress ratio of piles and soils.The distributing rules of the stress ratio of piles and soils were obtained.At the same time,according to the numerical calculation,both the stiffness and thickness of cushion have effect on the distributing rules.
