... load model pile pile-head displacement load characteristic loading upstream oil & gas head displacement 1. Introduction Pile foundations of offshore structures used for the oil and gas or wind farm industries are subjected to large cyclic horizontal loads resulting mainly from the action...

... ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a series of laboratory tests performed on model piles in dense sand to investigate the axial response and tensile capacity. The test schedule was designed to impose varying cyclic loads followed by static tensile tests to measure the improvement...
