The pile-anchor supporting structure is widely used in foundation pit engineering then knowledge of active earth pressure onpiles is very important for engineers In this paper based on the pseudodynamic method and considering the vehiclersquos vibrationcharacteristic a method to calculate the earth pressure on piles under vehicle load is presented At the same time the constraintof anchor is simplified relation of lateral deformation of piles in present method Effects of a wide range of parameters like ruptureangle vibration acceleration coefficient wall friction angle and soil friction angle on active earth pressure have been studiedResults are presented in terms of coefficients in the figures and comparison of the test data and the earth pressure calculated byM-Omethod and present studyThe result shows that the measured earth pressure is accordant with the theoretical analysis so themethod in this paper is an effective basis for the calculation of earth pressure on piles under vehicle loads
1 Introduction
In design and construction of the excavation the calculationproblemof earth pressure has been encountered by engineersThere are a lot of deep excavations in center area of thecity where dense urban roads traffic is heavy In particularthe project of urban road expansion during construction ofthe road keeps working When foundation pit is close todriving roads it can cause the damage of retaining structurefor underestimating the vehicle vibration on the impact offoundation pit supporting structure (see Figure 1) Usuallythese typical examples can be commonly found in large- andmedium-size cities in China Therefore calculating the earthpressure on retaining piles close to road in the design andconstruction of foundation pit we must consider the impactof vehicle loads
In the past few decades though the calculation methodof earth pressure on retaining structure has been greatlydeveloped achievements are mainly focused on the dynamicresponse of the structure subjected to dynamic loads such asearthquake and vehicle loads [1 2] Under earthquake loadsthe methods have been developed to evaluate the seismic
earth pressure on a rigid retaining structure being knownas the pseudostatic method first used by Okabe [3] andMononobe and Matsuo [4] Pseudostatic method is anextension of the Coulomb sliding wedge theory which waslater recognized as famous Mononobe-Okabe method [5]Steedman and Zeng [6] proposed a pseudodynamic methodwhich assumes that the walls and high seismic accelerationversus time were sinusoidal variation and the shear modulusand shear wave velocity are also identified as a limited valuethe study shows that the pseudodynamic method is closedactually Then Zeng and Steedman [7] also show that theearth pressure in pseudodynamic method is in agreementwith the centrifugal modeling results confirming that theproposed method is correct
Pseudodynamic method is used to calculate the earthpressure on retaining walls under earthquake the results aremore accurate compared to the static method [8ndash12] Studyon supporting structure under the vehicle load is mainly inthe dynamic characteristics of the supporting structures [1314] and the stability of supporting structures [15] However inthe calculationmethod of earth pressure behind the support-ing piles effects of vehicle vibration characteristics are rarely

taken into account In addition there is no considerationof the constraint of anchor structures in solution of earthpressure on retaining piles
In the past solving the earth pressure on supportingstructure is based on static method [17 18] and vehicle loadsare simplified equal static load results of calculation showthat the error is relatively large and cannot reflect the soilpressure in practice Thus in this work a distribution ofearth pressure on supporting structure under vehicle loadis presented we have considered the contribution of anchorstructures on earth pressure on piles Moreover effectsof a wide range of parameters like vibration accelerationcoefficient wall friction angle soil friction angle and theweight of the soil on active earth pressure have been studiedFinally comparison of the earth pressure is calculated byM-Omethod and present study and test data a suggestion has beengiven to calculate earth pressure on pile under vehicle loads
2 Method of Analysis
21 Response Acceleration The growth of heavy vehicle loadsposes a threat to the safety of infrastructure Dynamicstress and acceleration response analysis is important fordesign and assessment of structure [19 20] Accelerationinduced by vehicle loads was obtained by experiment [2122] The experimental results show that characters measuredacceleration response versus time is similar to accelerationinduced by earthquakeTherefore this paper assumes that thevehicle generates shear and primary waves
Pseudodynamicmethod assumes that the rockmass shearmodulus 119866 does not change over vertical position of theslope namely 119866 is a constant Supporting piles at depth 119911by horizontal and vertical vibration accelerations is definedas 119886ℎ(119911 119905) and 119886119881(119911 119905) respectively where 119911 is depth belowthe surface of the soil vibration acceleration at time 119905 for thefollowing equation [6]
119886ℎ (119911 119905) = 119896ℎ119892 sdot sin [120596(119905 minus119911

22 Analytical Model Based on the character of the researchproblem the active earth pressure behind retaining pileshas been analyzed by using pseudodynamic approach undervehicle loads According to practical engineering problemsanalysis model is shown in Figure 2

Similarly when 120572 change from 32∘ to 36∘ a total of theactive earth pressure increases by 1081 kPa and the averageof active earth pressure increased by 27 kPa for each degreeThe value of increment in active earth pressure decreasedwith increase at the same angle (120572) Therefore the greaterthe rupture angle the smaller the impact range on theearth pressure The dotted line represents the dynamic earthpressure produced by vehicle loads the solid line representsthe static earth pressure in Figure 5 Results show that thevalue of rupture angle decreases with increase in proportionof dynamic earth pressure Moreover the greater the ruptureangle the smaller the dynamic earth pressure
In Figure 6 the solid line represents the dynamic earthpressure produced by the horizontal inertia force and thedotted line represents the dynamic earth pressure producedby the vertical inertial force comparing the two values resultsshow that the vertical inertial force has a marginal effect

earth pressure decreases by 348 and when 120573 change from0∘ to 120593 the active earth pressure decreases by 365
From (12) it can be learned that the generation of activeearth pressure on retaining structure consists of three partsincluding inertia force generated by vehicle loads tensionof anchor and the gravity of soil wedge The wall frictionangle has no effect on the total earth pressure In additionthe wall friction angle in the formula is only a denominatorcalculating the distribution of earth pressure with depthThe denominator is a function of three angles one of theangles changes and the others change as well Therefore therelation between all angles is to ensure that the denominatoris positive and the effect of the wall friction angle 120573 is notworth mentioning

taken into account In addition there is no considerationof the constraint of anchor structures in solution of earthpressure on retaining piles
In the past solving the earth pressure on supportingstructure is based on static method [17 18] and vehicle loadsare simplified equal static load results of calculation showthat the error is relatively large and cannot reflect the soilpressure in practice Thus in this work a distribution ofearth pressure on supporting structure under vehicle loadis presented we have considered the contribution of anchorstructures on earth pressure on piles Moreover effectsof a wide range of parameters like vibration accelerationcoefficient wall friction angle soil friction angle and theweight of the soil on active earth pressure have been studiedFinally comparison of the earth pressure is calculated byM-Omethod and present study and test data a suggestion has beengiven to calculate earth pressure on pile under vehicle loads
2 Method of Analysis
21 Response Acceleration The growth of heavy vehicle loadsposes a threat to the safety of infrastructure Dynamicstress and acceleration response analysis is important fordesign and assessment of structure [19 20] Accelerationinduced by vehicle loads was obtained by experiment [2122] The experimental results show that characters measuredacceleration response versus time is similar to accelerationinduced by earthquakeTherefore this paper assumes that thevehicle generates shear and primary waves
Pseudodynamicmethod assumes that the rockmass shearmodulus 119866 does not change over vertical position of theslope namely 119866 is a constant Supporting piles at depth 119911by horizontal and vertical vibration accelerations is definedas 119886ℎ(119911 119905) and 119886119881(119911 119905) respectively where 119911 is depth belowthe surface of the soil vibration acceleration at time 119905 for thefollowing equation [6]

Similarly when 120572 change from 32∘ to 36∘ a total of theactive earth pressure increases by 1081 kPa and the averageof active earth pressure increased by 27 kPa for each degreeThe value of increment in active earth pressure decreasedwith increase at the same angle (120572) Therefore the greaterthe rupture angle the smaller the impact range on theearth pressure The dotted line represents the dynamic earthpressure produced by vehicle loads the solid line representsthe static earth pressure in Figure 5 Results show that thevalue of rupture angle decreases with increase in proportionof dynamic earth pressure Moreover the greater the ruptureangle the smaller the dynamic earth pressure
In Figure 6 the solid line represents the dynamic earthpressure produced by the horizontal inertia force and thedotted line represents the dynamic earth pressure producedby the vertical inertial force comparing the two values resultsshow that the vertical inertial force has a marginal effect

From (12) it can be learned that the generation of activeearth pressure on retaining structure consists of three partsincluding inertia force generated by vehicle loads tensionof anchor and the gravity of soil wedge The wall frictionangle has no effect on the total earth pressure In additionthe wall friction angle in the formula is only a denominatorcalculating the distribution of earth pressure with depthThe denominator is a function of three angles one of theangles changes and the others change as well Therefore therelation between all angles is to ensure that the denominatoris positive and the effect of the wall friction angle 120573 is notworth mentioning

Similarly when 120572 change from 32∘ to 36∘ a total of theactive earth pressure increases by 1081 kPa and the averageof active earth pressure increased by 27 kPa for each degreeThe value of increment in active earth pressure decreasedwith increase at the same angle (120572) Therefore the greaterthe rupture angle the smaller the impact range on theearth pressure The dotted line represents the dynamic earthpressure produced by vehicle loads the solid line representsthe static earth pressure in Figure 5 Results show that thevalue of rupture angle decreases with increase in proportionof dynamic earth pressure Moreover the greater the ruptureangle the smaller the dynamic earth pressure
In Figure 6 the solid line represents the dynamic earthpressure produced by the horizontal inertia force and thedotted line represents the dynamic earth pressure producedby the vertical inertial force comparing the two values resultsshow that the vertical inertial force has a marginal effect

earth pressure decreases by 348 and when 120573 change from0∘ to 120593 the active earth pressure decreases by 365
From (12) it can be learned that the generation of activeearth pressure on retaining structure consists of three partsincluding inertia force generated by vehicle loads tensionof anchor and the gravity of soil wedge The wall frictionangle has no effect on the total earth pressure In additionthe wall friction angle in the formula is only a denominatorcalculating the distribution of earth pressure with depthThe denominator is a function of three angles one of theangles changes and the others change as well Therefore therelation between all angles is to ensure that the denominatoris positive and the effect of the wall friction angle 120573 is notworth mentioning

(1) In present method by considering the effect of vehicleloads and the constraint of anchor structures the solution
to calculate the active earth pressure on piles under vehicleloads is obtainedThe paper presents effects of parameters onearth pressure such as rupture angle horizontal and verticalvibration coefficient soil friction angle and wall frictionangle
(2) The results of present analysis show that the earthpressure increases with the increase in rupture angle 120572 andhorizontal and vertical vibration coefficient 119896ℎ and 119896119881 whichhave a great influence on the earth pressure on piles Theactive earth pressure is highly sensitive to the friction angle ofthe soil120593 and comparatively less sensitive to the wall frictionangle 120573
(3)The typical results of distribution of the earth pressureon piles show the high nonlinearity Under the influenceof many factors the distribution of dynamic earth pressuregenerated by vehicle loads with depth is nonlinear whichhave a great contribution to the active earth pressure onpiles In comparison of the test data and the results calculatedby present study and Mononobe-Okabe method the resultsshow that the earth pressure gained by the proposed methodcoincides well with the test dataThiswork provides amethodto calculate earth pressure on piles required for the designpurpose

From (12) it can be learned that the generation of activeearth pressure on retaining structure consists of three partsincluding inertia force generated by vehicle loads tensionof anchor and the gravity of soil wedge The wall frictionangle has no effect on the total earth pressure In additionthe wall friction angle in the formula is only a denominatorcalculating the distribution of earth pressure with depthThe denominator is a function of three angles one of theangles changes and the others change as well Therefore therelation between all angles is to ensure that the denominatoris positive and the effect of the wall friction angle 120573 is notworth mentioning

(1) In present method by considering the effect of vehicleloads and the constraint of anchor structures the solution
to calculate the active earth pressure on piles under vehicleloads is obtainedThe paper presents effects of parameters onearth pressure such as rupture angle horizontal and verticalvibration coefficient soil friction angle and wall frictionangle
(2) The results of present analysis show that the earthpressure increases with the increase in rupture angle 120572 andhorizontal and vertical vibration coefficient 119896ℎ and 119896119881 whichhave a great influence on the earth pressure on piles Theactive earth pressure is highly sensitive to the friction angle ofthe soil120593 and comparatively less sensitive to the wall frictionangle 120573
(3)The typical results of distribution of the earth pressureon piles show the high nonlinearity Under the influenceof many factors the distribution of dynamic earth pressuregenerated by vehicle loads with depth is nonlinear whichhave a great contribution to the active earth pressure onpiles In comparison of the test data and the results calculatedby present study and Mononobe-Okabe method the resultsshow that the earth pressure gained by the proposed methodcoincides well with the test dataThiswork provides amethodto calculate earth pressure on piles required for the designpurpose

deep pits The proposed solution incorporates vibration ofvehicle loads retaining structure deformations and materialproperties The following are the main conclusions of thestudy
(1) In present method by considering the effect of vehicleloads and the constraint of anchor structures the solution
to calculate the active earth pressure on piles under vehicleloads is obtainedThe paper presents effects of parameters onearth pressure such as rupture angle horizontal and verticalvibration coefficient soil friction angle and wall frictionangle
(2) The results of present analysis show that the earthpressure increases with the increase in rupture angle 120572 andhorizontal and vertical vibration coefficient 119896ℎ and 119896119881 whichhave a great influence on the earth pressure on piles Theactive earth pressure is highly sensitive to the friction angle ofthe soil120593 and comparatively less sensitive to the wall frictionangle 120573
(3)The typical results of distribution of the earth pressureon piles show the high nonlinearity Under the influenceof many factors the distribution of dynamic earth pressuregenerated by vehicle loads with depth is nonlinear whichhave a great contribution to the active earth pressure onpiles In comparison of the test data and the results calculatedby present study and Mononobe-Okabe method the resultsshow that the earth pressure gained by the proposed methodcoincides well with the test dataThiswork provides amethodto calculate earth pressure on piles required for the designpurpose
