Continuous pile-plug structure is a new-type anti-sliding structure
with the combination of function of shear plug and slide-resistant pile. The FLAC2D numerical modeling program is used to model the relationship between continuous pile-plug structure and landslides. The result shows that
the internal anti-sliding mechanism of the structure can decrease shear deformation
reduce plastic zones
block slide displacement
mobilize rock-soil resistance; and the external mechanism is the reinforcement effect and retain function. In general
continuous pile-plug structure works under complex stress state with bending moment
shear force and axial force
and the internal force deformation distributes continuously and balanced corresponding to continuous rigid-frame under balanced force. Continuous pile-plug structure solves the limitation of monomer structure and behaves better in slide resistance and reinforcement of landslides. It improves the safety margin of mass movement stability significantly and has wider applicability in landslides management project. The continuous pile-plug structure is applied in Houzishi landslide control engineering
which is the most complex geological hazard control project in Three George reservoir
