As a common foundation type for offshore wind turbines
the pile-soil interaction mechanism of large-diameter marine steel pipe pile foundations is significantly different from that of traditional small-diameter piles. The commonly used API specifications are unable to accurately assess the load-bearing performance of large-diameter marine steel pipe pile foundations. This study employs numerical analysis methods to investigate the influence of different pile-soil stiffness ratios in sandy soils on the horizontal load-bearing characteristics of large-diameter single piles. It reveals the influence laws of pile-soil stiffness ratios and displacement selection conditions on the horizontal load-bearing capacity of single piles. The results indicate that
as the pile-soil stiffness ratio increases
the horizontal load-bearing capacity of single piles tends to decrease. Moreover
with the increase in pile diameter
the sensitivity of the horizontal load-bearing capacity to the pile-soil stiffness ratio weakens. The horizontal load-bearing capacity of single piles exhibits a logarithmic relationship with the pile-soil stiffness ratio under different seabed displacements. Based on the influence of horizontal load-bearing mechanisms
displacement conditions
and soil strength on the horizontal load-bearing capacity
a normalized horizontal load-bearing capacity calculation method for large-diameter single piles is established.
