Inclined pile foundations are commonly adopted in the support of wharf, harbor, bridge, and wind turbine structures. In the context of offshore wind turbines, inclined piles are typically arranged symmetrically around a circle with an elevated pile cap above sea level, referred to as an elevated pile-cap foundation. However, limited research exists on the impedances of inclined pile foundations with elevated pile caps. In this study, a theoretical model was developed that incorporates a homogeneous soil half-space and an inclined pile foundation with an elevated pile cap. The pile and soil half-space were modeled as Euler-Bernoulli beams and linear-elastic continuum, respectively. The soil's contribution to the pile's dynamics was represented by the receptance matrix, established at discrete interactions points along the pile's embedded section. The effects of the rake angle and scour depth on the dynamic impedances of the inclined pile foundation with an elevated pile cap were investigated. It was observed that the peak frequency of impedance shifts to a lower value as the scour depth increases; whereas the peak frequency shifting effect is less prominent when the rake angle changes. The impedance of the elevated pile-cap foundation is more sensitive to the pile's rake angle compared to the scour depth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
