Study on Deformation of Steel Cylinder during Artificial Island Construction

Abstract:

A model is founded to simulate the process of artificial island construction by numerical analysis method. The displacement and deformation of the steel cylinder are analyzed. From the results, the settlement of steel cylinder is great, and the maximum is 28.5cm. At the same time, the steel cylinder has lateral displacement in the process of the island construction. The maximum lateral displacement is 12cm. The major influencing factor to the deformation of steel cylinder is the construction of filling sand inside and outside of island and flinging stone. Therefore, the settlement and displacement of steel cylinder should be monitored nearly during this construction step.
