To study the frost jacking performance of photovoltaic support steel pipe screw pile foundations in seasonally frozen soil areas at high latitudes and low altitudes and prevent excessive frost jacking displacement, this study determines the best geometric parameters of screw piles through in situ tests and simulation methods.
The common forms of photovoltaic support foundations include concrete independent foundations, concrete strip foundations, concrete cast-in-place piles, prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC piles), steel piles and steel pipe screw piles. The first three are cast-in situ piles, and the last three are precast piles.
Considering the thawing settlement of the pile body, within the 25-year service period of the photovoltaic power project, the frost jacking of the pile is approximately 144.68 mm. anti-frost jacking measures are recommended to reduce the impact of frost heaving.
Many such Solar PV facilities have experienced frost uplift of foundation piles either during the construction phase or during its lifetime. Since frost heave is more of a serviceability related issue, unfactored adfreeze loads without any factor of safety is a usual tendency by the EPC contractors.
Understanding a potential solar project''s ground conditions can influence many design considerations, most importantly what foundation to choose. The most economical foundation design can depend on
Determining the appropriate concentration of antifreeze in a solar energy system is pivotal for preventing freezing while maximizing efficiency. Over-saturation with antifreeze can lead to
The generally acceptable limits of pile heaving are 36mm of differential heaving based on IEC 61646 (Thin-film terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) Modules – “Design qualification and type approval”)
