A review of the load applied to multi-pile offshore wind turbine foundations is presented, from which the need to
consider the response to axial cyclic loading is emphasised. The paucity of available data on field tests on driven
piles in sand is noted. A comprehensive data set of multiple axial cyclic and static tests conducted on seven
industrial-scale steel pipe-piles at a marine sand site in Dunkerque, France, is re-examined in this paper. The effects of
cycling on axial capacity are interpreted by reference to stable, metastable or unstable zones defined in a normalised
cyclic stability interaction diagram. A detailed analysis is made of the load–displacement and stiffness response
associated with each mode of cycling. It is shown that in all cases the piles’ cyclic stiffnesses show only minor
changes until cyclic failure is approached. The patterns of permanent cyclic strain accumulation are sensitive to the
applied mean and cyclic loading levels. Whereas displacements accumulate rapidly over just a few cycles in the
unstable zone, extended cycling in the stable zone leads to minimal accumulated displacements and constant
transient cyclic displacements |
