Numerical Simulation and Optimization Design of End-Suspended Pile Support for Soil-Rock Composite Foundation Pit by Qingchao Xu, Zhenhao Bao, Tu Lu, Huarui Gao, Jiakang Song

“…Under the given geological conditions, the reasonable socketed ratio is within 0.158∼0.200. (2) The anchor cable prestress can effectively slow down the ground settlement, the force, and deformation of the pile body and can be set to 1P∼1.25P under the conditions of the site. (3) Rock-shoulder width has little influence on the ground settlement and horizontal displacement of piles. …”

Research on the Mechanical Properties of a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer-Steel Combined Truss Structure by Pengfei Liu, Qilin Zhao, Fei Li, Jinchun Liu, Haosen Chen

“…Under natural conditions, the short-term load test and long-term mechanical performance test for one year are performed to analyze its performance and conduct a comparative analysis for a reasonable FEM model. The study shows that the design and fabrication for the node of an assembled truss panel are convenient, safe, and reliable; because of the creep control design of the rods, not only does the short-term structural stiffness meet the design requirement but also the long-term creep deformation tends towards stability. …”
