Abstract:Based on ADINA,a 3D augersoil FEM model was developed to study the impact of pattern of the drill auger,screwpitch and the soil parameter on the required torque.Secondly,the model tests of auger squeezing into cementsoil mixture were done to get the optimized drill auger with least torque.At last,onsite test result of drill auger squeezed into ground verified the correctness of the numerical analysis and model test.The conclusions in this paper can provide a basis for optimal design of drill auger.
