ABSTRACT: In order to analyze the influence of wave scouring on the vertical
bearing behavior of the pile foundation, the finite element software ABAQUS was
used to simulate the force of the pile foundation under the action of wave
scouring. A three-dimensional finite element calculation model of the pile
foundation was established according to the actual working conditions, and the
calculation results were compared with the field test results to verify the
correctness of the built model. Then, the influence of wave scouring depth and
pile embedding depth on the vertical bearing behavior of pile foundation was
analyzed through calculation examples. The analysis results showed that the
greater the depth of wave erosion, the greater the impact on the vertical
bearing behavior of the pile foundation. Meanwhile, the smaller the buried
depth of the pile body, the greater the impact on the vertical bearing capacity
of the pile. Thus, the reduction rate of the vertical bearing capacity under
different scouring depths was obtained.
