BEHAVIOR OF PILES SUPPORTING OFFSHORE STRUCTURES
Depth Coefficient, Z - x/T
(b)
Depth Coefficient, Z = x/T
Figure 11.9 Case I: Pile bending moment produced by: (a) latéral load at the
mudline; (b) moment applied at the mudline.
Figure 11.10 Case I: Deflection of pile fixed against rotation at mudline.
1. Perform Steps 1-3 of the solution procedure for free head piles, Case I.
2. Compute the deflection y at each depth along the pile where a p-y curve
is available by using the following équation:
,
p P‘r3
(11 19)
Ihe deflection coefficients Fy can be found by entering Figure 11.11 with values
of Z, using the appropriate curve according to the value Zmax.
3. Proceed in steps similar to those for the free head case.
