... loaded suction anchors as the foundation is important in design. There are many methods which are estimating the holding capacity of the suction anchors under lateral loading. The conventional methods widely used are limit analyses, theories of elasticity and plasticity, finite-element, finite difference...

... ABSTRACT This study aims at investigating the behaviour of monopod bucket foundations through a physical model. The foundation is installed in dense water-saturated sand and is subjected to lateral load applied at different rates. The different loading rates allow for exploring the patterns...

..., the monopile foundation is subjected to few load cycles with large amplitudes, caused by the strong storms, and also to millions of lateral load cycles with low or intermediate amplitudes that may cause failure in the fatigue or serviceability limit states (FLS and SLS respectively), (Wichtmann et al. 2008...

... ABSTRACT: Offshore structures are subjected to lateral loading such as wave action, current, wind force, etc. To accommodate such loads, gravity type structures and/or pile foundations are generally deployed as means to resist lateral loading conditions. For conventional gravity type offshore...

.... A maximum total lateral loading of 13 MN was associated with the conditions used by ABS and IMP to reassess the Arenque A platform. The ABS and the IMP analyses did not take account of the directional characteristics of the waves and currents, or of the effects of the deformable sea floor on the wave...

... ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to present the behavior of large diameter precast group piles subjected to lateral load. The group piles were constructed for in-site tests a study for High Speed Railway foundation. The site selected for testing was located at Taibao, Chiyi, Taiwan. All...

... ABSTRACT In this paper, the results of an experimental programme carried out on model pile groups have been reported. Lateral load tests were carried out on instrumented model aluminum pipe piles embedded in a marine clay at embedment depth ratios of 20, 30 and 40. Two pile and three pile...
