Estimating Soil Liquefaction in Ice-Induced Vibration of Bucket Foundation
Publication: Journal of Cold Regions Engineering
Volume 17, Issue 2
Abstract
The two suction foundation platforms installed in the Bohai Sea have vertical narrow columns passing through the water level. The continuous ice crushing on the columns and thereby the dynamic ice-structure interaction may usually happen during the ice season resulting in sustained violent vibrations of the structures. The paper first introduces the ice-induced vibration analysis of the suction foundation platform by using the self-excited vibration theory. Then the maximum dynamic shear stresses in the soil induced by ice are obtained from the analyses. By comparing the dynamic stresses to the cyclic strength of soil, which can be determined according to soil characteristics and features of the dynamic loading, the potential soil liquefaction is finally assessed.
