Title: Offshore Geotechnical Investigation and Design of Offshore Pile Foundations Considering Liquefiable and Non-liquefiable Soils
Abstract: Prior to construction of important civil engineering structure at sea bank or offshore location, it is essential to perform geotechnical investigations. It helps obtaining various geotechnical parameters used in analysis, design, and construction. It is commonly observed, soils near beaches or offshore locations possess lower bearing capacity, prone to liquefaction and structures exposed to waterfront condition. Hence, if any structure is planned, pile foundations are commonly recommended. In the present paper, geotechnical investigation is presented of a selected site planed for construction of onshore and offshore structures. Further, various engineering soil parameters are evaluated from it. Liquefaction potential of soils evaluated adopting methods available in literatures. In the present paper, the considerations followed during design of pile foundations supporting offshore structures considering liquefaction of soils are presented. Also, site amplification studies have been carried out for the selected site using DEEPSOIL software.
