Offshore pile foundation subjected to lateral cyclic load in layered soil
RIS ID

Abstract
The pile foundations supporting offshore structures are required to be designed against cyclic load, moments and torques initiated by a combined action of waves, wind, tides, currents, etc. Such a complex loading condition produces progressive degradation in the pile-soil interactive performance which is likely to introduce significant reduction in bearing capacity with increased settlement and displacements. This paper is based on a numerical model developed by the Authors to study the response of pile foundation under lateral cyclic load in layered soil. The model is validated with a field test data and thereafter, parametric studies have been carried out. A brief description of the works conducted and the major conclusions drawn are highlighted in this paper.
