This paper introduces a new type of uplift pile known as the composite-anchor pile, which employs a composite anchor composed of steel strands, grouting materials, and steel pipes as the main reinforcement. This paper extensively analyzes this pile’s load-bearing capacity and deformation characteristics through full-scale field tests and three-dimensional finite element numerical simulations. The results show that the composite-anchor pile has a more even distribution of stress, and its endurance and mechanics performance are better than others. Furthermore, this study utilizes a three-dimensional finite element refined model that has been validated using on-site test results to examine the influence of key parameters, such as the pile diameter, the number of composite-anchor cables, and the diameter of steel strands, on the load-bearing capacity of uplift piles. Building upon these findings, this paper introduces a calculating method to determine the bearing capacity of composite-anchor piles, thereby addressing the existing gap in this field.
