Influence of static–cyclic load misalignment on the drained tilting response of offshore monopiles in sand

Offshore monopile foundations are exposed to misaligned wind and wave loadings, which are respectively dominated by (nearly) static and cyclic load components. While the response of these systems to unidirectional cyclic loading has been extensively investigated, only a few studies have been devoted to the realistic case of misaligned static...

Comparison of new memory surface hardening models for prediction of high cyclic loading (Comparaison de nouveaux modèles de surface de mémoire à durcissement pour la prévision de fortes charges cycliques)

This paper presents an objective comparison between two recent constitutive models employing the concept of the hardening memory surface to predict the high cyclic loading behaviour of granular soils. The hardening memory surface is applied to the well-known Severn-Trent sand and the SANINSAND04 constitutive models. While the addition of the new...
