This paper introduces the prefabrication of ultra-long pile on water and piling construction for Phase II Project of Changshu Xinghua Port, which is jointly managed by China and Singapore.

Field experimental studies on super-tall buildings, super-long piles & super-thick raft in Shanghai;

Construction technology of deep water large-diameter super-long pile foundation;

Key technology and calculation of maximun length in super-long pile core-drilling test;

Studies on Bearing and Deformation Mechanism and Shaft Resistance Degradation of Super-long Piles under Vertical Loading;

The super-long piles have been widely applied in large-span bridges and high buildings,but there is phenomenon that the piles are becoming more and more longer.

In this paper, the author discusses the research actuality of super-long piles and give a commentary on some questions such as the definition of super-long piles,load transmission principle and the study methods.

A new method of calculating stable bearing capacity for overlength piles;

Load transfer performance of overlength piles;

Considering that there is little study about shaft resistance transfer behavior of overlength pile and the theory is based on short pile yet,shaft load transfer function of overlength single pile which considering depth influence is presented.

Study of base bearing capacity of overlength single pile using 3D FEM;
