Centrifuge modelling of the behaviour of pile groups under vertical eccentric load

چکیده

Annular shaped pile groups are a very common foundation layout for onshore wind turbines and other slender structures. In this study, their performance under vertical loads of moderate to high eccentricity, including moment rotation response bearing capacity, was investigated by centrifuge testing on small scale physical models embedded in kaolin clay. To identify experimentally the capacity examined different load paths, model foundations were loaded monotonically until clear collapse mechanism achieved. The procedure proposed interpretation methodology can be easily adapted paths or layouts than those considered current study. experimental data adopted as useful benchmark mathematical aimed at predicting complex paths. results program also used assess degree conservatism methods industry design piled subjected eccentric loads.

Centrifuge modelling of long piles subjected to lateral loading with high load eccentricity in sand

In this research paper, five centrifuge lateral loading tests of long piles with a considerable load eccentricity were carried out in the sand to investigate the impacts of the load eccentricity and pile length changes on the lateral behavior of a flexible pile beside the determination of experimental p-y curves. Comparing experimental test results with the recommended API (American Petroleum ...

Centrifuge modelling of sand compaction piles in soft clay under embankment load

Sand compaction piles are used in practice for ground improvement of soft subsoil in order to accelerate consolidation, reduce compressibility, and increase strength. The current design procedure of sand compaction piles is based on simple empirical calculations, which does not take full account of the sand pile behaviour. This research project investigates the behaviour of a base reinforced em...

Modeling of Vertical Breakwater Wall under Bilateral Seawater Load

Floating breakwaters are widely used due to their various advantages over stationary breakwaters. Lots of researches have been done on hydrodynamics and the type of bracing of these kinds of structures in recent years. In this study, numerical modeling of stresses caused by collision waves has been investigated. For this purpose, samples of floating breakwaters have been modeled in ANSYS softwa...
