Cyclic Axial Load Testing of Piles for Jacket Foundations

Team: A. Deeks and A. Rahim (NGI); R. Gilbert (UTexas); A. Bradshaw and C. Baxter (URI).

The goal is to investigate the behavior of pipe piles under axial cyclic loading considering the effects of time and large numbers of cycles. The information will be used to improve foundation design procedures for piled offshore wind jackets.
