水平荷载下海上风机单桩基础桩土相互作用研究

海上风电作为一种清洁绿色的能源越来越受到人们的关注,海上风机会承受风、浪、流等水平荷载的作用,因此水平荷载下海上风机单桩基础桩土相互作用一直是人们研究的热点。本文对水平荷载作用下海上风机单桩基土相互作用进行研究,通过ABAQUS有限元数值分析软件建立桩土模型。结果显示:桩顶水平极限位移约为11.25cm,海床面以下1~5m范围为桩身弯矩和桩身mises应力较大的区段;随着桩顶水平位移的逐渐增大,桩身挠曲逐渐向深处发展,桩体位移零点位置逐渐向下;桩体的水平位移会对桩侧土体产生挤压作用,这种挤压作用会使土体塑性屈服区逐渐向下发展,土体水平位移呈半圆形放射状分布,浅层土体mises应力产生非对称分布。

采用1∶5的比尺模型试验,研究了横向加载过程中U型钢板桩的位移和土压力响应以及破坏模式,并对比分析了不同土质干湿状况、加载速率、埋置深度以及加载高度等影响因素下U型钢板桩位移和土压力的变化规律。试验结果表明,当U型钢板桩凸面加载时,位移随埋置深度、加载等级、加载高度的增加而增加,干砂中的位移大于湿砂中的位移;当凹面加载时,位移随着埋置深度的增加而减小,随着加载等级的增大而增大,在不同加载高度与不同土质干湿情况中差别不大。随着加载力增大,U型钢板桩在受力侧土压力分布呈现“R型”分布,且土压力均随着埋置深度与土体含水率的增大而增大。在加载力作用下桩体产生转动,并随着加载力的增大在距钢板桩底部约1/3埋置深度处发生弯曲。

Small- and large-scale model tests on the buckling property of slender pile

Slender piles embedded in soft ground or liquefied soil may buckle under vertical load. In this paper, both small- and large-scale model tests are conducted to investigate the buckling mechanisms of a slender pile and the lateral earth pressure acting on the pile. To observe the buckling of a slender pile, the strain-controlled loading method is adopted to apply a vertical load. When the two ends of a slender pile are hinged, the buckling mechanisms of small- and large-scale model tests are same. It should be noted that this applies only to a system with a small ratio of pile bending stiffness to soil bending stiffness. An applied vertical load increases with an increasing pile head settlement until it reaches the critical buckling load. By further increasing the pile head settlement, the measured load approaches the critical buckling load. In the large-scale model test, the measured lateral earth pressure (i.e., active and passive) acting on the slender pile varies linearly with the lateral pile displacement when the measured range is 3–5?m beneath the ground. A critical buckling calculation method has been adopted to compare with the conventional “m” method. The two-sided earth pressure calculation method can achieve more approximate results with the model test.     

Dynamic Analysis of A 5-MW Tripod Offshore Wind Turbine by Considering Fluid–Structure Interaction

Fixed offshore wind turbines usually have large underwater supporting structures.The fluid influences the dynamic characteristics of the structure system.The dynamic model of a 5-MW tripod offshore wind turbine considering the pile–soil system and fluid structure interaction(FSI) is established,and the structural modes in air and in water are obtained by use of ANSYS.By comparing low-order natural frequencies and mode shapes,the influence of sea water on the free vibration characteristics of offshore wind turbine is analyzed.On basis of the above work,seismic responses under excitation by El-Centro waves are calculated by the time-history analysis method.The results reveal that the dynamic responses such as the lateral displacement of the foundation and the section bending moment of the tubular piles increase substantially under the influence of the added-mass and hydrodynamic pressure of sea water.The method and conclusions presented in this paper can provide a theoretical reference for structure design and analysis of offshore wind turbines fixed in deep seawater.     

Behavior of Pile Group with Elevated Cap Subjected to Cyclic Lateral Loads

The pile group with elevated cap is widely used as foundation of offshore structures such as turbines, power transmission towers and bridge piers, and understanding its behavior under cyclic lateral loads induced by waves, tide water and winds, is of great importance to designing. A large-scale model test on 3×3 pile group with elevated cap subjected to cyclic lateral loads was performed in saturated silts. The preparation and implementation of the test is presented. Steel pipes with the outer diameter of 114 mm, thickness of 4.5 mm, and length of 6 m were employed as model piles. The pile group was cyclic loaded in a multi-stage sequence with the lateral displacement controlled. In addition, a single pile test was also conducted at the same site for comparison. The displacement of the pile cap, the internal forces of individual piles, and the horizontal stiffness of the pile group are presented and discussed in detail. The results indicate that the lateral cyclic loads have a greater impact on pile group than that on a single pile, and give rise to the significant plastic strain in the soil around piles. The lateral loads carried by each row of piles within the group would be redistributed with loading cycles. The lateral stiffness of the pile group decreases gradually with cycles and broadly presents three different degradation patterns in the test. Significant axial forces were measured out in some piles within the group, owing to the strong restraint provided by the cap, and finally lead to a large settlement of the pile group. These findings can be referred for foundation designing of offshore structures.     

Stability Analysis of Aquatic-Sand Pile Composite Foundation Reinforcing for New Shore-Connecting Structure

The Yangshan deepwater port is the only container port built in the islands off the mainland of China. Batter piles with a sheet-pile-supported platform bulkhead structure were first used as a new shore-connecting structure to connect the front main wharf structure and the back land. Large-diameter sand columns were also used to reinforce the soft foundation of the shore-connecting structure in the deep water of the open sea. A 3D nonlinear FEM model based on real geological conditions was built to optimize the large-diameter sand columns’ reinforcing scheme and investigate shore-connecting structures’ mechanical properties under different construction conditions. The replacement ratio of 30%, the bottom elevation of the fourth soil layer, and the soft soil just below and directly adjacent to the shore-connecting structure were determined as optimal replacement ratio, reinforcing depths, and reinforcing area of the large-diameter sand columns reinforcement by assessing the force and deformation of the shore-connecting structure. By numerical computing, the maximum displacement of the supported platform was 11.03 cm, which was close to the measured value; and the piles’ maximum stress, displacement and moments were all smaller than the design strength. These indicated that the shore-connecting structure could remain stable by an optimal sand columns reinforcing scheme.     

Centrifuge modeling of single pile response due to lateral cyclic loading in kaolin clay

In offshore engineering, pile foundations are commonly constructed in marine deposits to support various structures such as offshore platforms. These piles are subjected to lateral cyclic loading due to wind, wave action, and drag load from ships. In this paper, centrifuge model tests are conducted to investigate the response of the existing single piles due to lateral cyclic loading. The cyclic loading was simulated by a hydraulic actuator. It is found that the residual lateral movement and bending strain are induced in the existing pile after each loading–unloading cycle. This is because plastic deformation is induced in the soil surrounding the existing pile during each loading–unloading cycle. By increasing the applied loads during cyclic loading–unloading process, the lateral movements and bending strains induced in the pile head increase simultaneously. As the cyclic loading varies from 10 to 50 kN, the residual pile head movement increases from 40 to 154?mm, and the residual bending strain of the existing pile varies from 100 to 260 με. The ratio of residual to the maximum pile head movements varies from 0.17 to 0.22, while the ratio of residual to the maximum bending strains is in a range of 0.12–0.55.

Behaviour of rigid piles in marine clays under lateral cyclic loading

In the field of ocean engineering, pile foundations are extensively used in supporting several structures. In many cases, piles are subjected to significant lateral loads. The environment prevalent in the ocean necessitates the piles to be designed for cyclic wave loading. In this investigation, the behaviour of rigid piles under cyclic lateral loading has been studied through an experimental programme carried out on model piles embedded in a soft marine clay. Static tests were also conducted on piles embedded in a clay bed prepared at different consistencies suitable to field situations. Cyclic load was applied by using a specially designed pneumatic controlled loading system. Tests were conducted on model piles made of mild steel (MS), aluminium and PVC with wide variation in pile soil relative stiffness. For cyclic load levels less than 50% of static lateral capacity, the deflections are observed to increase with number of cycles and cyclic load level and stabilise after a certain number of cycles. For cyclic load levels greater than 50% of static lateral capacity, the deflections are observed to increase enormously with number of cycles. The results of post-cyclic load tests indicate that the behaviour under static load can improve for cyclic load levels less than 40% of the static lateral capacity. The variations in the load capacity due to cyclic loading are explained in terms of the changes in strength behaviour of soil.
