Abstract The Prestressed Concrete Pipe (PCP) pile-composite foundation was initially employed in the foundation of a culvert in the ancient Yellow River of China. To analyze the reinforcement effect of the foundation, a composite foundation composed of PCP piles was investigated with field tests and numerical simulations. A static load test was conducted to investigate the stress and deformation of the PCP pile-composite foundation, and a finite element model under three-dimensional (3D) axisymmetric conditions was developed to simulate the stress and deformation of the foundation. The Finite Element (FE) model used a nonlinear constitutive model for the soil, cushion and pile-soil interface. The results of the numerical simulations correspond with the load sharing, stress and displacement results of the static load test and indicate that the soil stress is primarily compressive. The cushion reduces the difference in settlement between the middle region and the side region of the bearing plate and increases the bearing capacity of the PCP pile-composite foundation. The stress of the pile significantly varies in the upper 1 m. The pile-soil load-sharing ratio increases with an increase in external load. This paper is expected to be useful for scientific research and efficient applications of PCP pilecomposite foundations.
