A Calibrated Framework Integrating Three-Dimensional Numerical Modeling with an Optimization Algorithm for the Estimation of Soil–Pile Interaction
摘要
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the contact behavior between soil and super-long bored piles (SLBPs). To address this problem, a three-dimensional simulation–optimization framework (3DSOF) is developed by integrating a meta-heuristic algorithm, a finite element (FE) model, and the Python programming language. First, a series of empirical methods is employed to obtain soil engineering parameters. Subsequently, an in-situ pile load test under static axial compressive loading was carried out in accordance with ASTM D1143. The resulting load–settlement curve showed good agreement with the field test results, indicating that the method can reliably capture key soil characteristics and provide parameter estimates close to actual in-situ values. Based on these results, the soil–pile contact behavior, represented by
