Simulation And Analysis Of Interaction In Soft Clay Pile Foundation

Abstract

The single pile foundation is the most common forms of offshore wind turbine, but it is different from offshore oil platforms because of the load and the overturning moment. The elastic-plastic element of ABAQUS has been used to simulate failure modes of the single pile foundation in soft clay. The results shown that the single pile foundation has no plastic strain region under vertical load and has plastic strain under t horizontal load; in front of the pile, the single pile foundation has plastic strain region under bending moment load condition.
