Mechanics Research on the Vertical Bearing Characteristics of Suction Pile Cluster in Soft Ground

Article Preview

Abstract:

For a suction pile, drainage condition influences the magnitude of under-pressure ('suction'). As the growth of suction, the break-out resistance transforms from local shear failure, local tensile failure to general shear failure. This paper will discuss the failure mechanism of suction pile cluster under vertical load with different drainage conditions. The finite element method and software ABAQUS are employed to analysis these problems.
