Deformation Control Method of the Antislide Pile under Trapezoidal Load in the Zhangjiawan Landslide by Hao Wang, Zhiying Lv, Hongyu Qin, Jianwei Yue, Jianwei Zhang

“…The relationship between the distribution of the driving force (q0/q1) and the reasonable embedded length of a pile is a quadratic function, which can be used to determine the reasonable embedded length of a pile under the action of rectangular or triangular loads. It is very useful to use the above method to guide the design of antislide piles in similar areas.…”
