Research on the vertical compressive bearing characteristics of offshore wind power steel pipe piles

Abstract

In the absence of a comparison of static load test results for large-diameter steel pipe piles at home and abroad, optimize the design parameters based on the test pile results to guide later construction. This paper is based on the pile foundation design calculation method of API specification, as well as the relationship between the t-z, Q-z, p-y curve modes suggested by this specification, vertical ultimate bearing capacity, and stratum parameters. The conclusions and results obtained are limited to pile foundation calculations using API specifications. Analyze and back-analyze the results of static load tests on large-diameter steel pipe piles, and verify the pile foundation parameters. Combined with the data obtained from the test pile tests, analyze the stratum parameters to guide the optimization design of pile foundations in the construction drawing design stage of the offshore wind farm expansion project.
