The effect of soil seepage in the bucket on suction was first explored through model tests
and a mathematical model connecting critical suction and penetration depth was establishcd
and the minimum critical suction required for a single bucket foundation at different penetration depths was analyzed in depth. Then
based on the research results of the single bucket foundation
the test and analysis of the penetration resistance of the four-bucket foundation were further carried out. The study found that as the bucket foundation penetrates
the soil inside it will experience a suction attenuation process
and there is a linear relationship between the degree of attenuation and the penetration depth. During the entire penetration process
the bucket structure will continue to suffer from suction loss. Based on the above observations
a relationship model between hydraulic gradient and soil penetration depth was constructed
and a mathematical expression for the ratio of internal and external permeability coefficients with penetration depth was derived. Finally
a new calculation method was proposed to determine the critical minimum suction of the bucket foundation through penetration experiments on the four-bucket foundation
and the effectiveness of the method was verified experimentally. These findings have important guiding significance for optimizing the design and construction of bucket foundations under sandy conditions.
