Probabilistic Reliability Estimation of an Axially Loaded Pile
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new efficient and accurate hybrid reliability method is proposed to estimate risk of an axially loaded single pile considering pile-soil interaction effect. Uncertainties associated with all the design variables are considered appropriately. It intelligently integrates the concepts of the response surface method, the finite difference method, the first-order reliability method, and an iterative linear interpolation scheme. The soil around the pile is represented by a series of springs. The system represents a realistic and efficient load-transfer mechanism. The dual system is then deterministically analysed using the finite difference method. Uncertainties associated with load conditions, material and sectional properties of the pile and soil properties are explicitly considered. The risks corresponding to both serviceability and strength limit states are estimated. With help of realistic examples, the applicability, accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm in the safety assessment of axially loaded pile-soil system are demonstrated. The procedure is also verified using the Monte Carlo simulation technique.

Soil–structure reliability of offshore wind turbine monopile foundations
An overview of offshore wind turbine (OWT) foundations is presented, focusing primarily on the monopile foundation. The uncertainty in offshore soil conditions as well as random wind and wave loading is currently treated with a deterministic design procedure, though some standards allow engineers to use a probability-based approach. Laterally loaded monopile foundations are typically designed u...

The present study utilizes an analytical method to formulate the three lowest modal frequencies of axially-loaded notched beam through both crack location and load level in a specific format that can be used in existing frequency-based crack-identification methods. The proposed formula provides a basis to shift into two states, one with axial loading and the other without any loading whatsoever...

For application of the plastic analysis and design methods the control of the plastic behaviour of the structures is an important requirement. In this study, the complementary strain energy of the residual forces is considered as an overall measure of the plastic performance of the structure. Shakedown theorem for the analysis of the plastic behaviour of the laterally loaded piles is developed ...
