Soil Structure interaction of Laterally Loaded Piles

Abstract The rapid development of the global economy has led to an increased energy demand throughout world. More than 70% world’s consumption is from use fossil fuels. In wake rising temperatures and carbon emissions, policymakers across globe think about alternate renewable ways generation, among which wind a promising source. Offshore turbines are new technologies challenging when it comes their installation in harsh ocean environment as they subjected environmental loads caused by wind, wave currents. These then transferred foundation. Monopiles most common foundations used offshore today therefore its analysis important. single large diameter tubular steel piles 3–7 m driven into seabed with typical penetration depth 25–30 m, lateral dynamic loads. Soil structure interaction monopile important aspect be considered design for present study, PLAXIS 3D geotechnical software soil-pile corresponding displacement behaviour pile under study. due forces on carried out using data off Gulf Mannar, near Tamil Nadu coast, embedment length varied study effect characteristics pile.
