The analytical approach proposed here is validated by comparing its outcomes with those from previous works. These comparisons confirm the effectiveness of the method. One of the main findings is that hydrodynamic forces must be taken into account to ensure accurate dynamic predictions. Increasing the pile’s stiffness is shown to be an effective way to reduce resonance amplitudes and shift the natural frequency to higher values. Additionally, it was observed that the properties of the uppermost soil layers significantly affect the pile response, whereas deeper layers and the soil plug itself have a comparatively minor effect. Changes in the height of soil plug are found to influence the pile impedance, underscoring the importance of incorporating this factor in more precise assessments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19403,"journal":{"name":"Ocean Engineering","volume":"339 ","pages":"Article 121971"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144518626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In-situ survey was conducted at the bridge group along the Wulong River to assess tidal flow characteristics. Laboratory hydrodynamic experiment and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation were performed to analyze flow behavior and scour patterns. Results reveal that closely spaced bridges induce complex hydrodynamic interactions due to the formation of turbulent wake zones. Upstream bridges decrease flow velocity near downstream bridges while intensifying turbulence, thereby exacerbating local scour around downstream foundations. The most severe scour was observed at a bridge located 220 m downstream of another bridge, positioned at the end of the upstream wake zone. Based on along-channel flow velocity and local scour effect, a scour depth prediction method for closely spaced bridge groups is proposed and validated.

Previous studies examining the undrained breakout capacity of plate anchors in purely cohesive soils were predominantly based on the classical Tresca (CT) strength criterion, which assumes equal uniaxial yield strengths in compression and tension. However, the observed uniaxial tensile strength of cohesive soils is often much lower than its compression counterpart, emphasizing the need to consider realistic tensile strength in practical engineering applications. This research investigates the potential impact of a tensile strength cutoff on the ultimate undrained breakout capacity of shallowly buried horizontal plate anchors in purely cohesive soils, utilizing a tension-truncated Tresca (TT) strength criterion. The analysis employs the discrete sum method based on horizontal slices within the upper bound plasticity theory to calculate the undrained breakout capacity of plate anchors under varying shapes, including circular, square, rectangular, and strip. A comparison of results obtained using both CT and TT strength criteria reveals a significant effect of the tension cutoff on the ultimate undrained breakout capacity of plate anchors in cohesive soils. Additionally, the study explores the influence of different anchor-soil interface conditions and the associated breakout failure surfaces under typical parameter combinations.

However, MCPs frequently suffer dent damage resulting from third-party impacts during the installation and operational conditions. Such dent defects may precipitate local buckling failures under combined loading scenarios involving bending moments, axial forces, and internal pressure. In this study, a three-dimensional finite element model incorporating girth welds is developed to investigate the local buckling failure mechanism of MCPs induced by dents located in weld regions under combined loading conditions. Traditional strain-based assessment approaches are inherently limited and thus inadequate for evaluating MCPs with dent-induced damage in the girth weld area. To overcome this limitation, a novel calculation method utilizing the far-field average strain approach is proposed to predict local buckling failure accurately. Comprehensive analyses examine the influence of critical parameters, namely including bending moment, internal pressure, external pressure, dent depth, and the spatial proximity between dents and girth welds, on the MCP's buckling behavior and compressive strain capacity. The proposed method is validated through comparisons with established critical buckling failure loads. Results indicate that dents near girth weld regions significantly compromise the limited compressive strain capacity of MCPs, with dent depth, internal pressure, and external pressure notably influencing the local buckling failure modes. A predictive formula quantifies the limited compressive strain capacity, incorporating the effects of external pressure, internal pressure, dent depth, and dent-to-weld distance. The prediction errors are all within 10 %, satisfying the requirements of practical engineering applications.

Results demonstrate that while uniform flow produces stable standing-wave responses, linear and exponential shear flows introduce progressive mode transitions, nonlinear mode coupling, and broadened excitation spectra. Notably, exponential shear induces spatially asynchronous vortex shedding and chaotic lock-in behavior, revealing energy transfer from dominant to higher-order modes. These phenomena are strongly influenced by the interplay between velocity gradients and structural heterogeneity. The findings provide critical insights into the physical mechanisms governing VIV and offer design guidance for mitigating fatigue-critical responses in CWPs.
