Abstract ID#:

Report Title:
Investigation of Axial Tensile Load Capacity of Suction Piles

 

Authors:
Robert Pavlicek, University of Texas at Austin

 

Report Date:
January, 1993

The objective of this research was to investigate and develop an understanding of the mechanisms involved during installation and tensile loading of suction piles. The development and dissipation of negative pore water pressures under axial tensile loading was studied and analyzed in this research as well as the development of side shear on the suction pile wall. Pore pressures developed under axial tensile loading are believed to have a significant effect on suction pile capacity. Additionally, the behavior of suction piles during installation was studied.
