Dynamic Responses of Bucket Foundations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite some studies on bearing capacity have been studied, the detail responses of the suction bucket foundations under dynamic loads have remained unknown [3]. The dynamic load condition is significant when suction buckets are used as the foundation of an offshore structure. Wave load, ice-induced or wind-induced load cause the foundation to be subjected to cyclic loads [4]. The dynamic load is transmitted to the soils by platform and causes the degradation of soil layer’s strength. Sometimes liquefaction and large deformation can occur, which leads to the decrease of the bearing capacity of bucket foundations. Therefore, it is important to clarify the dynamic behavior of bucket foundations in order to provide practical design methods and parameters.

متن کاملThe Behavior of Suction Bucket under Cyclic Loading in Saturated Lands
Numerical modeling was carried out to investigate the responses of suction bucket foundations under vertical cyclic loading. Numerical results were compared with centrifuge experiment results. Before the capacity of the model suction bucket to resist cyclic loading could be investigated, the static pullout capacities had to be determined. The buckets with different aspect ratio are investigated...
متن کاملResponses of Saturated Sand Surrounding A Bucket Foundations Under Horizontal Vibration Loading
In this paper we investigated the responses of saturated sand under horizontal vibration loading induced by a bucket foundation. It is shown that the saturated sand liquefies gradually since the vibration loading is applied on. The maximum displacement on the surface of sand layer occurs near the loading end and in this zone the sand is compressed and moves upwards. The liquefaction zone is dev...
