ABSTRACT
Events like earthquakes, waves and wind can exert significant lateral pressure on pile foundation supporting structures, including towering buildings, transmission towers, offshore constructions, and bridges. The present study illuminates the notable improvements in the ability of monopile foundations to withstand lateral cyclic, static, and axial loads by implementing toothing system in rectangular wing design. Furthermore, findings serve as valuable information for optimizing foundation configurations in structures that face lateral and axial loads. In particular, this research delves into the structural behaviour of a novel pile foundation design that features rectangular wing with toothing system. The study compares the behaviour of traditional monopile to rectangular winged pile with toothing system, subjected to static, cyclic, and axial loads. The numerical simulations were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of piles when subjected to cyclic lateral loads, static loads, and axial loads using ANSYS software. The static load simulations incorporated displacements ranging from 2 mm to 10 mm. The results revealed that the rectangular winged pile toothing system displayed a 35% improvement in resistance against static lateral loads compared to the monopile. In cyclic loading, rectangular winged pile with a toothing system showed significant improvements in load resistance, surpassing the monopile by 71.62% in positive direction and 74.29% in negative direction and 103.53% for axial loading when compared with conventional monopile.
