This paper focuses on the optimization of uplift piles for a base plate considering local anti-floating stability. According to the force characteristics of the base plate subjected to buoyancy, a bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) process is proposed. The optimization process takes the pile length as the design variable and the pile end displacement as the sensitive coefficient. The proposed process is conducted with FLAC3D to optimize the length of each uplift pile, including two cases with different pile diameters and spacing. The optimization process shows that the deformation degree of the base plate is significantly reduced when the piles are adopted with large diameters and sparse spacing, and oscillates at a low level when the piles are adopted with small diameters and dense spacing. Consequently, the design method of uplift piles considering the local anti-floating stability is proposed by referring to the optimization results of two cases. Finally, the proposed design method is applied to a practical project, and the original design of the uplift piles is optimized. The comparison results show that the deformation degree of the base plate of optimization designs is significantly lower than the original design. |
