This paper uses theorem of shakedown to assess the shakedown limit of elastic-plastic offshore structures. For this aim, an envelope of elastic response of the structure to cyclic loading cases is required. The shakedown limit is basically a valid collapse mechanism and can be quantified using yield

β¦ Synopsis
Various offshore structures, especially large structures such as Tension Leg Platforms (TLP), are usually supported by concrete piles as the foundation elements. The stress distribution within such a large structure is a dominant factor in the design procedure of an offshore pile. To provide a more accurate and effective design for offshore foundation systems under axial and lateral wave loads, a finite element model is employed herein to determine the stresses and displacements in a concrete pile under similar loading conditions. A parametric study is also performed to examine the effects of the stress distribution due to the changing loading conditions.

This paper presents a method for carrying out, in a single step, an elastoplastic analysis to obtain simultaneously both the ultimate load and corresponding deformation of a strain softening structure. The effect of combined bending moment and axial force is also accounted for in the piecewise linea
A simple approach to analyse the flexural vibration of grouped piles was developed. In this approach, a pile group is replaced by a single pile for the evaluation of the pile-head flexibility matrix. Parametric studies were conducted for various conditions of grouped piles. Various features of flexu
