Phc pipe pile photovoltaic support

Can photovoltaic support steel pipe screw piles survive frost jacking?

To study the frost jacking performance of photovoltaic support steel pipe screw pile foundations in seasonally frozen soil areas at high latitudes and low altitudes and prevent excessive frost jacking displacement, this study determines the best geometric parameters of screw piles through in situ tests and simulation methods.

What are the different types of photovoltaic support foundations?

The common forms of photovoltaic support foundations include concrete independent foundations, concrete strip foundations, concrete cast-in-place piles, prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC piles), steel piles and steel pipe screw piles. The first three are cast-in situ piles, and the last three are precast piles.

Is a PHC pile foundation a reliable support structure for heliostats?

A comprehensive design program is proposed based on field tests and numerical simulations, considering deformation and bearing capacity. The study confirms the reliability of the PHC pile foundation as a support structure for heliostats, aiming to offer valuable insights for practical applications.

Is the PHC pile still elastic under cyclic loads?

Clearly, under cyclic loads of 6 kN·m and 12 kN·m, it could be considered that the PHC pile was still in the elastic stage. This indicated that the loading and unloading stiffness of the foundation structure was not degraded by repeated action under normal operating conditions.

What is the Frost jacking of the photovoltaic pile?

Considering the thawing settlement of the pile body, within the 25-year service period of the photovoltaic power project, the frost jacking of the pile is approximately 144.68 mm. anti-frost jacking measures are recommended to reduce the impact of frost heaving.

What is a photovoltaic support foundation?

Photovoltaic support foundations are important components of photovoltaic generation systems, which bear the self-weight of support and photovoltaic modules, wind, snow, earthquakes and other loads.
