Behavior of Single Pile Subject to Oblique Uplift Load in Sandy Soil under Global Scouring

Soil scouring is one of the most dangerous causes of geotechnical collapse, which can result in catastrophic disasters. An experimental scaled laboratory model was used to investigate the effects of lowering the embedded length of tension pile owing to surface erosion and varying relative densities of sand soil for vertical and angled uplift force. The designs for the uplift piles beneath the concentric oblique loads exposed to surface soil erosion have not been made known up until this point. The lateral and vertical responses of the uplift piles in sandy soil were examined in a series of 1-g experimental tests that included secondary characteristics such as soil relative density, the inclination angle of the uplift load, and various applied uplift loads. By applying statistical analysis to the experimental data, it was found that global scour caused reductions in overall pile capacity where the sum of the applied uplift load ratio and the scour depth ratio was equal to 0.70. Idealized P-y curves for piles with axially vertical, horizontal, or oblique uplift loads were developed, and they can be utilized to calculate the ultimate uplift capacity at the preliminary design stage. However, there are still several questions and suggestions:
1)The title of the article is not enough to summarize the content of the full text, and the description based on the principal component analysis method is a bit general. This article is mainly based on the frequency analysis method, and the article also mostly analyzes the amplitude and frequency of the waveform signal, which is one of the innovations of the article, and it is suggested to be characterized in the title.
2)The x axis label of FIG7 exists in Chinese.
3)The article’s description of Figure 9 is not consistent with the content of Figure 9. This figure is messy. It is suggested that the author change the transparency of marker to make the meaning of the figure clearer.
4)“which can easily lead to dynamict disasters, such as tunnel collapse, rockburs, etc”, There are two spelling errors in this sentence, which should be “dynamic” and “rockburst”
5)The author should pay attention to the writing logic and grammatical expression of this paper. The introduction of the article is not clear in logic, complicated in sentences, repeated in semantics, and not concise enough. It is suggested that the author rearrange the introduction to refine the content.
6)Is there a question in the expression of the primary early warning points and early warning points in FIG. 10? The text description does not match the figure. The stress curves of specimen D1 and specimen D1 are different, but the text descriptions are basically the same. The author should explain the basis for the three stages division and how to determine the corresponding time of the primary early warning point and the early warning point.

To sum up: the full text is clear in concept, innovative, rich in content, reasonable in structure, and clear in goals and conclusions. Although there are still some deficiencies in the use of language and words, the overall text is reasonable, meeting the content and innovation requirements of scientific research papers, the paper can be accepted, and the author is recommended to modify and improve it.
