Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 營建工程技術學系 === 81 === The aim of the research is to study the interaction relationships between soil and offshore pile under undrained cyclic loads. Static P-Y curves are modified to reflect the effects of cyclic lateral loads. The analytic method condiders the increase of the initial pilelateral capacity due to higher load rate, and then condiders the modulus and strength degradation characterictics of soil around the pile under cyclic loads to determine the modification of P-Y curve. The computer program CYCLAT developed using the above algorithm was used to study the cyclic test results of the Houston and Texas full scale model piles. Predictions of the cyclic lateral behavior of the foundation pile anchoring the Guo-Guang production platform (CBK-11) were made. In addition, parametric studies were conducted to understand the relative significance of various relevant parameters on the cycliclateral pile behavior. Analytical results show good agreement with pile test data. The lateral capacity of offshore piles decrease as cyclic lateral loading progresses. The decrease in capacity is usually accomjpanied by an increase in lateral deflections at pile top. In particular, when the pile is close to failure the pile top deflections will increase rapidly. Resutls from the parametric study show htat the most significant factors affecting the undrained cyclic pile behavior are the magaitude of the loading rate and the soil strength degradation. On the other hand, the degradation of soil modulus have much less effect.
