4 1.Background Deck slab Pavement Approach slab Backfill Abutment Girder Pier Abutment Backfill Piles sum T E Under temperature and seismic load, displacement of superstructure is absorbed by piles and piles are under cyclic load. To satisfy demand of superstructure deformation, flexible piles are used most frequently. H-steel piles have been widely used under Integral Abutment in North America and Europe, because of good flexural property and ductility.

5 1.Background Deck slab Pavement Approach slab Backfill Abutment Girder Pier Abutment Backfill Piles Researchers of Iowa State University used PC piles in IJB and did researches on behavior of these piles and field monitoring on IJB using PC piles. 24, researches on behavior of prestressed concrete square piles were conducted by Prof. Edwin from Tennessee University, which proved that PC piles can be used in IJB.

29 5. Conclusion Maximal bending moment locates at 5.D to 6.D embedded depth, concrete of pile cracks around this area primarily. Degree of prestress and reinforcement ratio has a significant influence on failure mode of PHC piles. There are four stages for PHC piles: (1) elastic stage when the displacement of pile head below 8mm~1mm. (2) Concrete of tensile zone cracked, which means soil-pile system become elastic-plastic. (3) Reaching 4mm displacement load, concrete of compressive zone are out of work, stiffness of pile decreases gradually. After that, soil-pile separation has a significant influence. (4) failure stage: lateral bearing capacity drops dramatically. The test indicate that the distribution law of soil pressure is that with the change of pile depth, the side earth pressure of pile increased first and then decreased, and reversed in a certain depth.

30 5. Conclusion PHC piles performs a good plastic property and deformation ability considering soil-pile interaction, which is a suitable type used in IJB. With the increase of displacement loads, the pressure of shallow soil grows faster and its maximum is close to the limit passive earth pressure, while that of the deep soil is relatively slow or even increase reversely. It can be seen that the transformation method and the 'm' method to calculate the horizontal deformation of pile are not accurate for nonlinear elastic and larger deformation. Although the 'p-y' curves method takes the non-linear effects of soil into account, there still exists a large error in calculating the large deformation value. The horizontal displacement calculation method of pile-soil interaction that obtained by tests can calculate precisely and accurately the pile displacement.
