... is subjected to substantial lateral loads, vertical loads and overturning moments that cannot be effectively resisted by a typical shallow (mudmat) foundation. A new HSF design methodology was established and a pile head locking system was developed by the project team. This is the first offshore application...

... for the superstrucutre, aiming to represent global inertial properties and loads and stiffnesses at the pile heads. The analysis was then focused on the soil-foundation system, to assess the extent of damage (permanent deformation) under RIE loading, and to compare it with acceptability cri teria in order to verify...

.... Permission to copy is restricted to an abstract of not more than 300 words, ABSTRACT An equivalent foundation method was developed to model the nonlinear response of piles SUbjected to pile head shear, moment and axial load. This eqUiva- lent method uses only two pile elements to represent the axial...

... linearly and that the ultimate resistance is underestimated near the pile head and overestimated at depth by the API curves. Despite these differences, computed response of piles under test conditions, using a slightly modified version of the API curves, showed good agreement with measured response...

The dynamic loads may be steady state vibrations from stationary equipment or transient loads resulting from earthquakes and waves. To predict...
