Analysis of bearing behavior of composite foundation under multidirectional combined loads
In order to study the bearing characteristics of the composite foundation of the subsea oil pro-duction system under the coupling of loads in different directions,the failure envelope under the com-posite loading mode was analyzed.The nonlinear finite element numerial simulation method was used for the simulation.The failure envelopes of foundation bearing capacity in two-dimensional and three-di-mensional load spaces were drawn by the fixed displacement ratio method,and the influence of different length-to-diameter ratios and pile spacing on the bearing capacity envelopes under the coupling of loads in different directions was analyzed.The results show that with the increase of the vertical load compo-nent,the size of the envelope of the foundation in the two-dimensional load space decreases.Combined with actual engineering application examples,by drawing the failure envelope of the foundation bearing capacity,the foundation design scheme is checked and evaluated,which is a good guide for engineering practice and design.
