砂土地基上海底滑坡与风机基础的相互作用

    Responses of wind turbine foundations in sand subjected to submarine landslides

    • 摘要: 大规模的海底滑坡可能对海洋风机基础安全构成重大威胁。采用离心模型试验模拟了海底滑坡作用下砂土地基上海上风机四桩基础的响应,研究了海底滑坡与风机基础的相互作用机理。试验结果表明:海底滑坡导致砂土地基中产生10~20 kPa的超静孔隙水压力,砂土在1~2 m深度内可能出现液化;风机基础沉降取决于滑坡的动力效应,10 m桩基础的沉降为0.5 m,20 m桩基础约为0.1 m;增加桩长可以降低超静孔隙水压力和基础沉降。论文还讨论了滑坡体黏滞度对海底滑坡与风机基础相互作用的影响。

       

      Abstract: The submarine landslides are massive underwater sediment movements on the ocean floor and can pose significant threats to offshore structures. Understanding the mechanism of submarine landslide-offshore structure interaction is essential for risk assessment. In this study, the centrifuge tests are conducted to investigate the responses of offshore wind turbines founded on four piles in sand subjected to the submarine landslides. The tests indicate that: (1) The liquefaction of the sand may occur within 1~2 meter in depth because of the induced excess pore water pressures. (2) The foundation settlements are largely depended on the dynamic impact. The settlements are 0.5 m for the 10-m-pile foundation and about 0.1 m for the 20-m-pile foundation. It is also found that the increasing pile length reduces the excess pore water pressure, soil deformation and foundation settlement. The effects of landslide viscosity on the foundation responses are discussed.
