A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This research includes analytical and experimental studies of suction piles for their potential use as part of the mooring system for MOB's in deep water. Laboratory experiments include installation simulation of suction piles in clay and medium dense sand. Analytical study includes the determination of ultimate capacities of suction piles against the horizontal, vertical, and inclined loads. In addition, validation of the analytical solution on mooring line analysis through comparisons with the centrifuge model and field tests is included. Complete details on the laboratory model test facility, test set-up, soil properties, experimental details, analytical solutions, and calibration of the mobilized soil cohesion ratio are included in 'report00-1.doc'. Photos of various test facility components are also included. Additional experimental laboratory model tests on small-scale suction pile installation in medium dense sand have also been conducted to further expand the capability of previously developed variation of the mobilized soil effective friction angle ratio. Results of these model tests and calibration of the mobilized soil effective friction angle ratio are included in 'report00-2.doc'. Please refer to the year two annual report for the laboratory model test facility, test set-up, and experimental details, since they are identical to those of the previous tests with fine sand. Previous year two annual report results have been studied again in detail and complete results are included in 'report00-3.doc.' Complete explanation of the analytical solutions of the ultimate suction pile resistances and experimental verification are included in 'report00-4.doc.'.
