Installation of new bucket foundation breakwater and its influence on stability

In light of the complexity of the installation process of the new bucket foundation breakwater, just some monitoring data cannot reflect this process roundly and particularly. By simplifying the bucket and using the simulation method for the installation of jacked piles, ABAQUS is used to simulate and analyze the soil-squeezing effect of the bucket. Through analysis, it is found that under the influence of the installation of the bucket, the soil near the bucket wall is affected by the horizontal squeezing effect, the soil close to the bucket is affected by the vertical squeezing and the friction effect, and the soil under the cover plate of the bucket between two bucket walls is affected by the vertical squeezing effect. Under the influences of the above effects, the deformations of the soil near the bucket wall can be divided into the submergence zone close to the bucket wall, the relative upheaval region zone a little far away from the bucket wall and the compression zone at the top of the soil between two bucket walls. These deformations cause the complex changes of the soil stress near the bucket wall. Based on the simulation of the soil-squeezing effect, its influence on the stability of the bucket is also analyzed, and the soil-squeezing effect can enhance the stability of the bucket.
