Most railway embankments in the UK were built in the Victorian era and are of end-tipped construction using materials (usually cohesive) excavated from adjacent cuttings, resulting in a clod-and-matrix structure. Historically, there has been a lack in understanding of the mechanical behaviour of such railway embankments. In the next decade railway traffic in the UK, particularly freight, is forecast to grow considerably. Consequently, there is a need to improve the understanding of how increases in rail traffic loading may influence the mechanical behaviour of railway embankments and thus track performance. The Rail Safety and Standards Board in conjunction with Network Rail is currently undertaking a programme of applied research into this topic. As part of these studies a programme of physical model tests has been carried out. Physical model tests can provide high quality data on system performance under a large range of loading conditions and geometrical configurations. The data can be generated rapidly, with test periods of weeks or months rather than years or decades. Additionally, boundary conditions are well-defined and controlled, compared with the complex situations encountered in full scale embankments in the field. This paper summarises the physical model test programme, the development of the test set-up, the tests themselves and the conclusions drawn.
In this contribution, we consider two applications in which probabilistic approaches can potentially complement or enhance the design and assessment of offshore wind turbine foundations. First, we illustrate in a numerical example that probabilistic modelling can be helpful in dealing with chang-es in turbine locations during the planning phase of an offshore wind farm. In this case, spatial probabilistic modelling of the ground conditions enables (a) an inference of the soil properties at the modified turbine location from field data collected at different locations across an offshore wind farm site and (b) an optimisation of further site investigations. Second, we discuss the uncer-tainties and risks associated with the installation of large diameter monopiles in soils with hetero-geneities such as strong layers and/or embedded boulders. Subsequently, we present a concept for modelling, understanding, and managing these risks based on a probabilistic model of the subgrade conditions, monopile, and subgrade-pile-interaction.
This article presents a solid cohesion model for the simulation of bonded granular assemblies in the frame of 3D discrete element approaches (DEM). A simple viscoplastic cohesion model for 2D geometries is extended to 3D conditions, while its yield criterion is generalized as a hyper-surface in the space of bond solicitations to include torsional moments. The model is then calibrated using experimental results of uniaxial traction at both the microscopic and macroscopic scales with an artificial granular cohesive soil. The paper finally presents some simulated results on the macromechanical sample traction application and briefly discusses the model's current limitations and promising prospects for subsequent works.

Im Rahmen mehrerer vom Bundesumweltministerium geförderter Forschungsvorhaben untersucht die BAM Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung zusammen mit Partnern aus Industrie und Wissenschaft das Tragverhalten von zyklisch lateral und axial belasteten Rammpfählen für Offshore-Windkraftanlagen. Neben Modellversuchen im Labor werden hierbei auch Großversuche durchgeführt. In diesem Beitrag wird das neu erstellte Testfeld der BAM zur Prüfung von Pfählen in Horstwalde vorgestellt. In den laufenden Großversuchen werden Parameter wie Tragfähigkeitsminderung infolge zyklisch-axialer Lasten im Druck- und Zugbereich sowie die Zunahme von Tragfähigkeiten durch sogenannte Anwachseffekte untersucht. Bezüglich der zyklischen Belastungen werden insbesondere als unsicher anzunehmende Wertepaare in den derzeit verwendeten Interaktionsdiagrammen betrachtet, wobei hier das Hauptaugenmerk aber nicht nur auf dem Versagen des Pfahls, sondern auch auf der Ermittlung der Resttragfähigkeit nach definierten Zyklenzahlen liegt. Im Beitrag werden erste Ergebnisse zu den Anwachseffekten präsentiert und mit Ergebnissen aus der Literatur verglichen. Des Weiteren werden das Versuchsprogramm zu den zyklisch axial belasteten Pfählen vorgestellt und erste Ergebnisse gezeigt. In einem Ausblick werden weitere Ziele des Forschungsvorhabens beschrieben. Hierzu gehören die Validierung und Kalibrierung eines existierenden Modells zur Ermittlung der Tragfähigkeit unter zyklischer Belastung auf der Grundlage aktueller Messdaten am Pfahl.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Large-scale tests on driven piles for the investigation of pile capacity under cyclic loading and ageing effects. The cyclic behaviour of axially and laterally loaded piles for the foundation of offshore wind turbines is being investigated by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in the frame of several research projects funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment and carried out in cooperation with industrial and academic partners. To this end, physical model tests in reduced scale as well as large scale field tests are being performed. This paper presents the new pile testing facility in the BAM's testing site at Horstwalde. The large-scale tests being performed there are aiming at the pile capacity degradation due to cyclic axial loading (both in tension and compression) as well as at the investigation of the capacity gains due to ageing effects (pile setup). Concerning the cyclic loading, the investigations have been mainly focused on special load combinations where there is little experience and where current interaction diagrams are loosely defined. However, the aim of the tests was not the cyclic failure, but rather the assessment of the post-cyclic capacity after the application of a pre-defined number of load cycles. Here, the testing program is summarised and some key results from the first testing campaign are discussed. The paper also presents some preliminary results concerning the capacity gains through ageing and compares them to previous experience from the literature. Finally, the paper gives an outlook on further goals of the current research projects, including the validation and calibration of a design model for the cyclic capacity of piles based on measured data from real piles.
A great deal is possible, even on the seabed. Together, wind and waves shake the foundations of the offshore wind turbines. "ere is also the “normal” current and ebb and #ow of the tides that are so distinctive in the North Sea. Pore water pressure can also occur on the seabed, loosening it. Where monopiles are involved, the worst case is that the stability of the whole turbine can be altered – even if such a monopile rammed into the seabed has a diameter of up to eight metres. Over half the planned offshore wind turbines in the North and Baltic Seas are to have monopile foundations, and over 40 % are to have multi-pile foundations, designed for example as a tripod. "is is why pile foundations and their loads deserve special attention. For one thing above all is to be avoided in plant operations, and that is the risk of turbine tilt.

Vieles ist möglich, auch auf dem Meeresboden. Wind und Wellen rütteln gemeinsam an der Gründung, den Fundamenten der Offshore-Windenergieanlagen. Hinzu kommen die „ganz normale“ Strömung sowie die in der Nordsee besonders ausgeprägten Gezeiten von Ebbe und Flut. Zudem kann am Meeresboden Porenwasserüberdruck entstehen, der den Boden lockern und im schlimmsten Fall bei Monopiles die Stabilität der gesamten Anlage ändern kann. Selbst wenn ein solcher in den Meeresboden gerammter Pfahl bis zu 8 Meter Durchmesser hat. Über die Hälfte der geplanten Offshore-Anlagen in Nord- und Ostsee werden mit Ein-Pfahl-Gründungen geplant, über 40 % sollen als Mehrpfahl-Gründungen, zum Beispiel als Tripod, ausgeführt werden. Von daher verdienen Pfahlgründungen und ihre Belastungen besondere Aufmerksamkeit. Denn eines gilt es im Anlagenbetrieb unbedingt zu vermeiden: Eine drohende Schiefstellung der Anlage
We focus here on the major and still relevant issue of soil erosion by fluid flows, and more specifically on the determination of both a critical threshold for erosion occurrence and a kinetics that specifies the rate of eroded matter entrainment. A state-of-the-art is first proposed with a critical view on the most commonly used methods and erosion models. It is then discussed an alternative strategy, promoting the use of model materials that allow systematic parametric investigations with the purpose of identifying more precisely the local mechanisms responsible for soil particle erosion and ultimately quantifying both critical onsets and kinetics, possibly through existing or novel empirical erosion laws. Finally, we present and discuss several examples following this methodology, implemented either by means of experiments or numerical simulations, and coupling erosion tests in several particular hydrodynamical configurations with wisely selected mechanical tests.
The response of many geotechnical systems, whose structural behavior depends on shearing effect, is closely related to soil structure interaction phenomenon. Experimentally it is found that the localisation of these effect happens at a narrow soil layer next to the structure. Numerically, this behavior can be modelled through inter-face elements and adequate constitutive models. In this work, a constitutive model in the framework of Gen-eralized Plasticity for sandy soils has been chosen to be adapted for the interface zone. From the direct shear experiments a sandy soil at loose and dense states under different normal pressures is considered. The adapted constitutive model is able to reproduce contraction and dilatation of the soil according to its relative density and it shows a good agreement with the experimental data.
The structural performance of many geotechnical systems (e.g. axially-loaded pile foundations), depends on the shearing resistance at the soil interface, which may govern the load bearing capacity of the foundation. Experimental investigations have shown that this interaction is mainly localised within a narrow shear band next to the structure. Under cyclic loading, a contraction of the soil at the interface may arise (net volume loss), possibly leading to a stress relaxation and thus to a reduction of the load bearing capacity (the so-called friction fatigue). Based on the constitutive similarities between soil continua and interfaces, we propose here the adaption of a Generalized Plasticity model for sandy soils for the numerical analysis of interface problems. In this contribution, the results of an experimental campaign for the parameter calibration of the constitutive model are presented. The tests have been conducted with a ring shear device involving different normal stresses, roughness of the steel plates as well as cyclic loading. The new modelling approach shows promising results and has the additional practical advantage that the interface zone and the soil continuum can both be described with the same constitutive model in general boundary value problems.
In this paper a shear test, which helps to study local behavior of the soil-pile interaction, is modelled numerically with the Finite Element Method as a 2D plane strain problem. A normal pressure on top and shear displacement on side were applied. So far, the material behavior was considered elastic for the sake of simplicity.
The effect of thickness on contact elements and the presence of in plane stress has been highlighted. The purpose of the paper is to find a suitable contact element which represents more close to reality a soil-pile interaction problem under cyclic axial loading. Moreover, an insight on the presence of in-plane stress shows that it needs to be considered cautiously.
Gerammte Stahlrohrpfähle sind das wesentlichste Gründungselement für Offshore-Konstruktionen. Typischerweise kommen diese als Monopiles oder als Mehrpfahlgründungen für Jacket-Konstruktionen zum Einsatz. Für die verhältnismäßig leichten Windenergieanlagen auf See wird bei Mehrpfahlgründungen regelmäßig die Zugtragfähigkeit maßgebend in der Bemessung. Zusätzlich sind Effekte aus wiederholten zyklischen Belastungen zu beachten, die sich auch auf die Zugtragfähigkeit auswirken können. Auch hier ergibt sich eine Besonderheit dadurch, dass im extremwertverteilten Lastspektrum wenige große (Wechsel-)Last-Amplituden entscheidend sind.
Die gründungstechnischen Herausforderungen bei der Planung solcher Windparks auf See wurden von einer Reihe von Untersuchungen begleitet. Eine Versuchsserie zur Zugtragfähigkeit von großmaßstäblichen Pfählen wurde auf dem Testgelände der BAM nahe Horstwalde bei Berlin durchgeführt. Hierfür wurde ein Testfeld mit 10 Pfählen angelegt. Die Pfähle wurden monoton auf Zug und zyklisch belastet. Vergleichend wurden dynamische Pfahlprobebelastungen durchgeführt. Zwei der Pfähle wurden mit Dehnungssensoren instrumentiert und es konnte die Pfahl-Boden-Interaktion abschnittsweise ermittelt werden.
Ermittlung von Beanspruchung und Verformungen von Pfahlgründungen - Messverfahren und Applikation
(2014)
Vor dem Hintergrund einer angestrebten größeren Unabhängigkeit der Energieversorgung von fossilen Energieträgern hat die Windenergie in den letzten Dekaden zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dabei wird insbesondere die Energiegewinnung offshore in der Deutschen Nordsee, auf Grund dort vorhandener stetiger Winde und sinkender Akzeptanz von Windkraftanlagen an Land, forciert. Im Hinblick auf die Gründung dieser Anlagen wird technisches Neuland betreten.
Angesichts von Wassertiefen bis über 25 m erhalten aufgelöste Gründungsstrukturen wie Tripod und Jacket oft den Vorzug vor Monopiles. Letztere waren wegen der geringen Produktions- und Installationskosten, der bisher am häufigsten angewandte Gründungstyp in flacheren Gewässern.
Monopile- und Mehrpfahlgründung unterscheiden sich wesentlich im Abtrag der Belastung durch Beanspruchungen aus Wind und Wellen in den umgebenden Baugrund. Während beim Monopile die zyklischen Momente über laterale Bettung abgetragen werden, entstehen an den Mehrpfahlgründungen axiale Zug- und Druckbelastungspaare in gegenüberliegenden Pfählen. Die zyklischen Belastungen von Monopiles sind demnach hauptsächlich in lateraler Richtung zu erwarten, während für Mehrpfahlgründungen die zyklische Belastung einen überwiegend axialen Charakter aufweist. Die zyklischen axialen Lasten in den Pfählen der Mehrpfahlgründungen können die axialen Tragfähigkeiten insbesondere am Pfahlmantel reduzieren und damit evtl, zu einem Versagen der Gründung führen.
Die Berechnung von Verformungen lateral belasteter Pfahlgründungen bedingt in der Regel die Überführung
der transienten Belastungen aus verschiedenen Umwelteinwirkungen in eine meist sinusförmige
zyklische Belastung mit konstanter Amplitude. Dies bringt die Vernachlässigung der Reihenfolge,
in der die realen Belastungen auftreten, mit sich. Die Voraussetzung dafür ist, dass der Einfluss dieser
Reihenfolge auch tatsächlich gering ist. Da die meisten experimentellen Untersuchung hierzu sich auf
die Elementebene und relativ geringe Zyklenzahlen beschränken, wird hier eine Versuchsserie präsentiert,
in welcher Modellpfähle durch Zyklenpakete mit unterschiedlichen Amplituden in variierender
Reihenfolge und hohen Lastspielzahlen belastet werden. Es zeigt sich ein geringer bis vernachlässigbarer
Einfluss der Reihenfolge der Lastblöcke für reine Schwellbelastungen.
The aim of an ongoing research project is to develop a design approach for typical offshore driven piles (e.g. Jacket piles) based on the application of injections by compaction grouting directly at the pile shaft. The paper aims to present the results of laboratory and in-situ tests, which reveal the efficiency and the promising potential of the optimised foundation concept for a more economic dimensioning of pile foundations and to increase their bearing capacity in non-cohesive soil at any moment after installation.
Numerical analysis can be useful for the investigation of important aspects of offshore foundation
prototypes that otherwise could hardly be studied experimentally, like the evolution of pore-water pressure around
the monopile foundation of an offshore wind turbine under extreme loading. A combination of mixed pressuredisplacement
formulations along with a constitutive model for sands based on the Generalized Plasticity Theory
can replicate accurately the soil behaviour in saturated conditions. However, additional issues must be taken into
account in order to perform numerical simulations of offshore piles. Some implications of the Babuska-Brezzi
restriction, as well as considerations about the pile-soil interface and suitable solution strategies are discussed
here. Due to the high cost of the transient analysis, the parallel computation offers a promising perspective, but
can be complex and needs to be implemented carefully in order to avoid a performance deterioration. A brief
overview on current trends and functional software is given here.
Here we investigate the physical mechanisms behind the surface erosion of a cohesive granular soil induced by an impinging jet by means of numerical simulations coupling fluid and grains at the microscale. The 2D numerical model combines the Discrete Element and Lattice Boltzmann methods (DEM-LBM) and accounts for the granular cohesion with a contact model featuring a paraboloidal yield surface. Here we review first the hydrodynamical conditions imposed by the fluid jet on a solid granular packing, turning then the attention to the impact of cohesion on the erosion kinetics. Finally, the use of an additional subcritical debonding damage model based on the work of Silvani and co-workers provides a novel insight into the internal solicitation of the cohesive granular sample by the impinging jet.
