Pile Penetration Analysis and Suggestions of Jacket Platform Skirt Pile Sinking

Abstract

When the pile driving operation of the jacket platform is carried out, the depth of the steel pile into the mud is not enough or the maximum penetration depth of the steel pile is not the expected bearing layer, which will make the bearing capacity of the platform pile foundation insufficient, cause the platform to be unstable and cause safety accidents. In this paper, the energy conservation relationship in the process of pile sinking is analyzed and discussed from the calculation theory of hammering work and internal force work. Combined with the soil data of field engineering, the penetration of pile sinking of jacket platform is calculated and theoretically demonstrated. Through the above in-depth calculation and analysis, the variation law of penetration with formation depth is obtained. Finally, the control suggestions of pile sinking operation of jacket platform are obtained, in order to provide reference for engineering operation.
