This paper presents a numerical investigation of the monotonic lateral response of large diameter monopiles in drained sand with configurations typical of those employed to support offshore wind turbines. Results from new centrifuge tests using instrumented monopiles in uniform dry sand deposits are first presented and used to illustrate the suitability of an advanced hypoplastic constitutive model to represent the sand in finite element analyses of the experiments. These analyses are then extended to examine the influence of pile diameter and loading eccentricity on the lateral response of rigid monopiles. The results show no dependency of suitably normalized lateral load transfer curves on the pile diameter and loading eccentricity. It is also shown that, in a given uniform sand, the profile with depth of net soil pressure at ultimate lateral capacity is independent of the pile diameter because of the insensitivity of the depth to the rotation centre for a rigid pile. A normalization method is subsequently proposed which unifies the load-deflection responses of different diameter rigid piles at a given load eccentricity.

Reverse Circulation

To achieve cutting transport with air reverse circulation in dry and shallow large-diameter holes of rock-socketed pile, and to solve the technical problem with airlift and pump reverse circulation, a large-diameter reverse circulation bit innovatively designed based on ejecting. Meanwhile, the orthogonal design method applied to explore the application feasibility of ejector theory in use of in air reverse circulation drilling. Through theory analysis, three key geometry parameters of air reverse circulation bit have proved to have direct affect on the function of cutting transport, including the diameter of nozzles (Dn), the number of nozzles (N), the angle of inclination (θs). The results have shown that reverse circulation effect of large-diameter bit designed based on ejecting is valid and stable. Further while the air volume of GQF-16 hammer bit goes to 90m3/min, a configuration of parameters with Dn=20mm, N=3, θs=35°are the most ideal parameter combinations.

Short Working

A newly developed digital scanning electron microscope, the JSM-6300, has the following features: Equipped with a narrower conical objective lens (OL), it allows high resolution images to be obtained easily at a short working distance (WD) and a large specimen tilt angle. In addition, it is provided with automatic functions and digital image processing functions for ease of operation.Conical C-F lens: The newly developed conical C-F objective lens, having low aberration characteristics over a wide WD range, allows a large-diameter (3-inch) specimen to be tilted up to 60° at short WD, and provides images with low magnifications starting at 10*. On the bottom of the lens, a p n junction type detector is provided to detect backscattered electrons (BE) from the specimen. As the narrower conical 0L increases the secondary electron (SE) detector's field intensity on the specimen surface, high SE image quality is obtained.
