Abstract:Offshore piles are subjected to cyclic lateral loads due to environmental loads, such as wind and waves. These loads can lead to an accumulation of permanent soil deformations and excess pore water pressures in saturated soils. Finite element analyses are performed to investigate the behaviour of cyclic laterally loaded free-head and fixed piles embedded in sandy saturated soil while considering such accumulation effects. A three-dimensional fully coupled two-phase finite element is developed and implemented o… Show more
