Sand aggregate is a non-renewable resource, but the contradiction between supply and demand between the shortage of sand and stone resources and the large-scale expansion of the construction field is escalating. Under the background of the dual carbon policy of various countries, the application of abundant aeolian sand and pebble resources in northwest China to pile aggregate is an important means to achieve green environmental protection, cost reduction and efficiency increase in the engineering field. Based on the new pebble-aeolian sand concrete mix ratio obtained in the previous test, the concrete model pile was poured, and the bearing performance of the new pebble-aeolian sand concrete pile combined with soil was studied by model test. Results showed that: the optimized ratio of pebble-eolian sand concrete can better meet the strength requirements of composite foundation. Increasing pile length and decreasing pile diameter and pile spacing were helpful to reduce the settlement of foundation. Under 400kPa loading, the pile length was doubled, and the total settlement of the foundation was reduced by 89%. Compared with the condition of decreasing pile diameter and pile spacing, the settlement decreased by 24% and 36.4%, respectively. For the pile body stress, increasing the pile length, pile diameter, reducing the pile distance, the stress showed a trend of increasing. For pile soil stress, increasing pile length, pile diameter and decreasing pile distance can reduce the stress level of foundation soil. For the pile-soil stress ratio, the longer the pile length, the greater the pile-soil stress ratio. The research results of this paper can provide data support for the popularization and application of pebbles and aeolian sand.
