Abstract
Base on the predecessors' research on the tapered piles, this article carried out a number of studies about the performance and the behavior of the the tapered piles. It is the theoretical analysis of settlement、the analysis of test results and the analysis of the applications constituted the main idea of this article. In addition,the national and local Code about the deformation of buildings were also introduced in this article.
Through the collection of the predecessors' research on the tapered piles and the examples of Applications, the summary and analysis of the current situation of tapered piles' research and application were systematically and successfully done within this article. Especially, the depth comparative analysis of the tapered piles' deformation was done within this paper. Through research and analysis, understand that this kind of pile have a better Bearing Capacity and Anti-settlement properties than the common piles in the situation of equal volume and equal Engineering Geological Conditions. And we can get the construction done more economically by using tapered piles. So, at last, we can say that the application of the tapered piles should be promoted.
Keywords : tapered pile; service performance; settlement; deformation; the superiority of performance.
