Abstract:
This paper presents a novel high bolt screw (HBS) active joint engineered to enhance eccentric tensile and compressive support within subway deep foundation pits, thereby bolstering underground structural stability and safety. This comprehensive investigation of the HBS active joint design included an overview, operational principles, stiffness analysis, parameters, and strength verification. To assess the load-bearing and bending capacities of HBS joints accurately under eccentric loading conditions, a series of indoor loading tests were conducted on two joints. The resulting data included load-displacement, moment-rotation, and load-strain curves and failure modes. The results of the numerical simulations closely matched the laboratory results, verifying their reliability. Parametric studies were then performed to examine how different design parameters affect eccentric compression and bending. The findings revealed that the yield load and moment resistance depend on the eccentric distance but not the angle. The load-bearing and bending performance of a joint is positively correlated with parameters such as the screw diameter, extension length, barrel nut height and thickness, and steel tube thickness, although the impact of each parameter varies. Accurate formulae for calculating the moment resistance and initial rotational stiffness were derived, yielding a reliable moment-rotation model. These results highlight the exceptional load-bearing and bending capacities of HBS joints, offering key insights into the design of advanced support systems for subway foundation pits.
