Investigation of the process of pipeline penetration at a shallow embedment in clay with large-deformation analysis

Chunlei Li et al.

Summary: Pipe-soil interaction is crucial for deep-water pipeline systems as it affects their structural behavior and integrity. The pipe embedment plays a significant role in determining the boundary conditions and subsequently influencing the pipe-soil interaction. In this study, a robust finite-element model using the Remeshing and Interpolation Technique with Small Strain (RITSS) method was developed for vertical penetration of pipelines in clay. The model discussed the development mechanism of soil shear bands during pipeline penetration and explored the effects of pipeline roughness on shear strength degradation and enhancement. Parametric analysis also examined the effects of soil buoyancy, soil strength gradient, strain softening, and strain rate on penetration resistance. A validated evaluation framework for penetration resistance was developed based on the sensitivity of each parameter, which can provide valuable guidance for designing vertical penetration of pipelines in deep-water engineering.

Analysis of the drag anchor behaviour at shallow depths

Y. Zhang et al.

Summary: Understanding the effects of shallow behavior is important for accurate kinematic predictions of drag anchors. Original methods only consider deep failure mechanisms, but by using plasticity analysis and varying tangential and normal bearing factors, the distinct shallow behavior of the anchor can be captured.

Characterization of engineering properties of deep-water soils in the South China Sea

Yin Wang et al.

Summary: The engineering properties of deep-water soils recovered from the South China Sea were characterized in detail through laboratory tests. The results showed that these soils have high natural water content, high void ratio, high Atterberg limits, but low density. Their strong natural structure significantly controls their shear behavior and failure model. The findings of this study provide essential parameters for related engineering applications and a deeper insight into the unique properties of deep-water soils.

A new method to predict the bearing capacity-penetration curve of spudcans in multi-layered clay soils

Hojat Mehralizadeh et al.

Summary: This paper presents simple correlations for predicting the bearing capacity-penetration curve of a spudcan in a multi-layered clay soil, based on numerical modeling results and analysis of parameters affecting the bearing capacity. Multivariate regression was used to obtain these correlations, which were then evaluated by comparing them to numerical modeling results. The presented correlations showed good accuracy in predicting the bearing capacity of spudcans in various profiles of multi-layered clay soils.
