Pile driveability analyses for offshore platforms require a unique set of criteria, which may not normally be associated with other pile foundation installations. The selected hammers, pile makeup details and soil profile must be carefully reviewed, as these factors will determine if pile installations will be successful. The most important of the variables to establish is the expected Soil Res...

Pile foundations is a well-studied technique with many applications and its benefits on structures have been widely studied in the literature. In particular, mutual effects of pile flexibility soil deformability may significantly modify seismic behaviour superstructures. order to consider uncertainties that are connected these issues, paper applies probabilistic-based approach fragility curves ...

The use of embedded pile elements provides a convenient approach that may save significant modelling time in the simulation of piled foundations. A back-analysis of an Osterberg-cell (O-Cell) load test on a 45 m long pile is presented to illustrate some of the advantages of using structural embedded elements. Comparisons with other modelling approaches for piled-raft foundations have showed goo...

This study aimed to investigate whether the seismic fragility and performance of interaction soil-pile-structure (ISPS) were affected by different parameters: axial load, a section pile, longitudinal steel ratio pile implanted in type sand (loose, medium, dense). In order better understand ISPS phenomena, series nonlinear static analysis have been conducted for two cases, namely: (i) fixed syst...
