1 EFFECT OF DREDGING AND TIE-ROD ANCHOR ON THE BEHAVIOR OF BERTHING STRUCTURE PREMALATHA, P.V. PhD Research Scholar, Department of Civil Engineering, National University of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu 6215, India MUTHUKKUMARAN, K Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, National University of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu 6215, India kmk@nitt.edu Abstract : JAYABALAN, P Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, National University of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu 6215, India pjeya@nitt.edu This paper deals with a numerical study on pile group supporting the berthing structures subjected to berthing/mooring forces and the forces arised due to dredging operations. A 2D Finite Element Model is developed using the geotechnical software Plaxis and is validated using the theoretical solution. Three different slopes such as 1V:3H, 1V:2H and 1V:1.5H are considered to simulate the actual field condition in berthing structure. The effect of berthing/mooring forces and the effect due to dredging operations on the pile groups are investigated with and without tie-rod anchors. The bending moment variation along the length of the piles and, the load-deflection behavior of piles are presented. Using the developed FE model, a real time berthing structure located in India is analyzed as a case study. The case study is used to assess the optimum tie-rod length required for the actual installation. This paper present the FE model description, analyses results, theoretical predictions and, the effect of dredging operations and the tie-rod in berthing structure. Keywords: Berthing structures, dredge level, optimum length, slope, and tie rod anchor. 1. The Main Text Berthing structures are constructed for berthing and mooring of vessels, to enable loading and unloading of cargo and for embarking and disembarking of passengers and vehicles. Berthing structures consist of a berthing head at which the ships are moored to receive or discharge their cargo. It has an approach structure connecting the berthing head to the shore and carrying the road or rail vehicles used to transport the cargo. Where minerals are handled in bulk the approach structure may carry a belt conveyor or an aerial ropeway. Piles of a berthing structure are generally constructed in sloping ground. The behavior of such piles under lateral load is different from piles in horizontal ground. When there is a need of berthing a bigger vessel in to the existing Berthing Structure, the dredge level has to be increased. Hence the variation in dredge level results in the increase/decrease of slope of the supporting soil. This causes the lack of stiffness due to the reduction in the supporting soil. These piles will experience additional stress and strain and will result in unacceptable pile movement or stress or both. Hence tie rods are provided to support the berthing structure and this will considerably reduce the deflection when the dredge level is increased. ISSN : Vol. 3 No. 6 June
2 Numerous numerical and empirical approaches are available in literature on the response of the piles. Very few research works have been carried under lateral load and some analytical approaches have been developed in recent years for the response analysis of laterally loaded piles on sloping ground with anchorage effect in a berthing structure. The present investigation is to study the effect of dredging on laterally loaded piles in sloping ground. The results are obtained for different loads and different level of dredging and compared by plotting load deflection curves obtained from finite element modeling by using PLAXIS. From the analysis it is found that the increase in dredge level increases the deflection of the structure which is to be arrested. Hence tie rods are provided and the behavior of structure for various different slopes is studied. Further a case study is done in arriving at the optimum length of tie rod anchor using the properties of material obtained from a typical berthing structure in Chennai port trust. These properties are used as input parameter for the finite element modeling. For this study, the modeling is done using a plane strain finite element approach. Plane strain analysis is the most straightforward of the finite element approaches and allows good representation of the pile group configuration and geometry, without being unduly complicated. 2. Literature Survey Reese and Matlock (196) gave a generalized solution for the laterally loaded pile. Basic equations and method of computations were given for both elastic and rigid behavior. Soil modulus variation with depth in different forms was considered. Broms (1964a, 1964b) developed solutions for the ultimate lateral resistance of a pile assuming the distribution of lateral soil pressure and considering static of the problem. Also two modes of failure and yielding of the soil along the length of the pile were considered. Poulos and Davies (198) modified the elastic solution to account for nonlinearity using yield factors. The modulus of subgrade reaction approach was extended to account for the soil nonlinearity. This was done by introducing p-y curves (Matlock 197, Reese et al. 1974). Raju et al. (1985) analysed alternative systems for a berthing structure considering a combination of diaphragm wall and piles as follows: Diaphragm wall with anchor rod and deadman diaphragm wall, diaphragm wall with vertical and raker piles, diaphragm wall with vertical piles. The analysis reveals that by marginally increasing the diameter of the pile the lateral capacity of the pile is increased rather than providing tie rod anchors. But this is a case of closed type berthing structure which contains the diaphragm wall at sea side. Muthukkumaran and Sundaravadivelu (27) carried out a research on application of the analytical method to study the effect of dredging on piles and diaphragm wall-supported berthing structures. The piles on marine soils are loaded laterally from horizontal soil movements generated by dredging. Full-scale field test results were compared with the results obtained from finite element modeling Not much research is carried out on the analysis of berthing structure subjected to lateral load and the effect of tie rod anchors in the berthing structure behavior. The present investigation presents a detailed study on the behavior of piles in sloping ground for various lengths of tie rod. From the literature survey, it is observed that not much research is carried out on the analysis of berthing structure subjected to lateral load and the effect of tie rod anchors in the lateral behavior. The present study gives a detailed behavior of piles in sloping ground for various lengths of tie rod anchor. ISSN : Vol. 3 No. 6 June

Case study using the exact soil profile obtained from Chennai port and analyzing the optimum length of tie rod anchor. 3. Finite element analysis: A two dimensional finite element program PLAXIS 2D has been used to model a single frame of a berthing structure using the concept of plain strain condition. 3.1 Plane strain as two-dimensional modeling In PLAXIS 2D, selection of plane strain conditions results in a two dimensional finite element model with only two translational degrees of freedom per node. The 15 noded triangle provides a fourth order interpolation for displacements and the numerical integration involves twelve Gauss points. 3.2 Piles and Beam elements Plates elements in the two-dimensional finite element model are composed of beam elements (line elements) with three degrees of freedom per node: two translational degrees of freedom and one rotational degree of freedom. When using 15 noded soil elements, 5-noded beam-column elements are used. The beam column elements are based on Mindlin s beam theory. This theory allows for beam s deflection due to shearing as well as bending. Hence when the maximum bending moment or axial force reaches, the beam becomes plastic and starts yielding. Figure 1(a) shows the position of nodes and stress points in a 3 & 5 noded beam element and figure 1(b) shows the position of nodes and stress points in a 15 noded soil element. (a).

4 3.3 Mohr Coulomb as soil s model Mohr Coulomb s model can be considered as a first order approximation of real soil behavior. This elastic perfectly plastic model requires 5 basic input parameters, namely Young s Modulus (E), Poisson s ratio (µ), cohesion (c), friction angle (φ) and dilatancy angle (ψ). This is a well known and a basic soil model. The soil nodes and pile nodes are connected by bilinear Mohr-Coulomb interface elements. This allows an approximate representation of the development of lateral resistance with relative soil-pile movement and ultimately the full limiting soil pressure acting on the piles. 3.4 Mesh Generation When the geometry model is complete, the finite element model (or mesh) can be generated. PLAXIS allows for a fully automatic mesh generation procedure, in which the geometry is divided into elements of the basic element type and compatible structural elements, if applicable. The mesh generation takes full account of the position of points and lines in the geometry model, so that exact position of layers, loads and structures is accounted for in the finite element mesh. The generation process is based on a robust triangulation principle that searches for optimised triangles and which results in an unstructured mesh. Unstructured meshes are not formed from regular patterns of elements. The numerical performance of these meshes, however, is usually better than structured meshes with regular arrays of elements. In addition to the mesh generation itself, a transformation of input data from the geometry model to the finite element mesh is made. 4. Theoretical analysis Lateral deformation of piles involves large strains in the soil near the ground Surface. The lateral deflection of a laterally loaded pile at relatively low load level will increase approximately linearly with applied loads. However the overall load deflection behaviour is distinctively non-linear. The deflection under lateral load may be estimated with reasonable accuracy using subgrade reaction approach. 4.1 Subgrade reaction approach The subgrade reaction approach by Broms (1981) is based on idealization of the soil as a series of horizontal layers, which provide spring supports. This approach is simple compared to equivalent cantilever approach in which piles are approximated to cantilevers. The lateral deflection is often calculated using a horizontal subgrade reaction coefficient (subgrade modulus), K h defined by terzaghi (1955), by the equation: K h = P / y Where K h - Horizontal subgrade reaction coefficient, P - Load transferred from the pile to the surrounding soil per unit depth y- Lateral deflection of the pile at the point considered. 4.2 Lateral deflection Depending on the dimensionless length ηl<2 or ηl>4, two distinguished relations are given as in Eq (1) to Eq (3) by Broms (1981), For ηl<2: e 18H L = y 2 L n h (1) ISSN : Vol. 3 No. 6 June

Dredging effect on piles and the influence of tie rod anchors on them: A thorough study has been done to have the information about the behavior of piles under changing slope of soil or dredging effect on piles. Three different slopes were analyzed viz 1V:1.5H, 1V:2H and 1V:3H. Tie rod has been provided on these cases and the amount of reduction in deflection is calculated. Finite element modeling is done using the 2D finite element software package PLAXIS and the results are compared with the theoretical ones. 5.1 Soil parameters The analyses are conducted with sandy soil, represented by Mohr-coulomb model. The Mohr-Coulomb model is used for the proposed (linear elastic-plastic) model, with plastic flow governed by an associated flow rule. Values of angle of internal friction, dilatancy angle input for the dense sand and Young s modulus (E) of soil has taken from BOWEL S for dense sand. The values of soil properties are presented in table1.initial stresses are generated in sand layer by specifying a constant value of K o =.412. The properties of soil used in the modeling are summarized in table Structural Properties The piles, beam and Dead man wall are represented by five noded beam-column elements. The beam elements are based on Mindlin s beam theory. This theory allows for beam deflection due to shearing as well as bending. In addition, the element can change length when an axial force is applied. Bending (flexural rigidity) stiffness EI and axial stiffness EA are input values as calculated individually for pile, beam and dead man wall. E is considered as concrete. Thus the bending moments and shear forces resulting from the analysis are factored up by the pile spacing to obtain the bending moments and shear forces per pile. As the soil stiffness is much lower than the structural stiffness, the equivalent wall properties are effectively independent of the soil properties and do not vary with depth. The structural member properties for pile, beam and tie rod are presented in table 2. ISSN : Vol. 3 No. 6 June
6 5.3 Soil-structure interface Fifteen noded soil elements and five noded structural elements are connected with five pairs of interface elements. In the figure 1 (c) the interface elements are shown to have a finite thickness, but in the finite element formation the coordinates of each node pair are identical, which means that the element has a zero thickness. Each interface has assigned to it a virtual thickness which is an imaginary dimension used for obtaining the material properties of the interface. The virtual thickness is defined as the virtual thickness factor times the average element size. The average element size is determined by the global coarseness for the mesh generation. The stiffness matrix for interface element is obtained using Newton-cotes integration points. The position of these integration points (or stress points) coincides with the position of the node pairs. 5.4 Analysis sequence A finite element programme PLAXIS 2D version 8 has been used to model the frame. The analyses are carried out in total stresses by generating initial stresses using the undrained parameters of soil. The analysis is carried out for various loads and for the following cases. 1. Subjected to Lateral Load for a 2D berthing structure of slope 1V:3H 2. Subjected to Lateral Load for a 2D berthing structure of slope 1V:2H 3. Subjected to Lateral Load for a 2D berthing structure of slope 1V:1.5H 4. Comparison studies for all slopes considering tie rod and without tie rod 5.5 Results and Discussions Lateral Load behavior The lateral load behaviour of the pile was studied by using Lateral load-deflection curves. The curves were drawn between the lateral load applied and the lateral deflection at first left pile head in the model. Lateral load was also applied at the same point in pull direction. The analysis is carried out for various loads and sloping ground of 1V:1.5H, 1V:2H and 1V:3H. Figure 2 shows 2D deformed mesh of a single frame of berthing structure for slopes 1V:3H. The distance between the piles is 7.5m and 35m long. Figure 3, 5,& 7 shows the load deflection curves for front pile in sloping ground 1V:3H, 1V:2H and 1V:1.5H respectively. The deflection is measured at the top of the pile. The curves are plotted for various different loads viz 1kN, 5kN, 75kN and 1kN. Figure 4, 6 and 8 shows the bending moment variation along the depth for various loads 25 kn, 5 kn, 75kN and 1 kn without tie rod anchor for slopes 1V:3H, 1V:2H and 1V:1.15H respectively. Figure 1 shows the comparison of bending moments for all the slopes without tie rod anchor. When the slope is increased from 1V:1.5H to 1V:2H, it is observed that the depth of fixity decreases from -22.5m to -17.5m. When the slope is increased from 1V:2H to 1V:3H, it is observed that the depth of fixity decreases from -17.5m to -13m. For horizontal ground, the depth of fixity is the least and at -7m Fig. 2.

When the slope is increased from 1V:3H to 1V:2H, the deflection increases from.47m to.95m which is almost double. When the slope is increased from 1V:2H to 1V:1.5H, the deflection is increased from.95m to.177m which is about an increase of 89.5%. ISSN : Vol. 3 No. 6 June

Load vs displacement for 1m long tie rod Bending moment behavior Figure 12 shows the comparison of bending moment for all the slopes when tie rod anchor is provided. It is observed that when tie rods are provided, not much variation is observed in the depth of fixity, but there is a decrease in the intensity of the bending moment. The bending moment decreases by 4%, 5% and 6.7% when tie rods are provided in 1V:3H slope, 1V:2H slope and 1V:1.5H slope. Hence tie rods are effective when the slope of the soil is more. The variation in deflection and bending moment can be clearly observed when the exact soil profile is used. Hence the analysis on tie rod anchor is done for 1V:2H slope using the soil profile obtained from Chennai port trust and by varying the length of tie rod. From the analysis, the optimum length of tie rod which will be effective in reducing the deflection of structure is found out. Before analyzing the optimum length by a case study, the above model is validated with the theoretical analysis by Brom s.

12 5.6 Validation of the finite element model Theoretical displacements have been calculated from the theoretical analysis and that result is used to compare with FEA results to verify PLAXIS model. Lateral Deflection from Broms Equation For Grade 4 concrete, E p is taken equal to 5 f ck =31.62x1 6 kn/m 2 Lateral dimension of the pile is 1m and I=πd 4 /64=.49mm4 Hence E p I p =1.55x1 6 knm2 For 1 kn y = 2 y =.896m ( 3 ) ( ) ( 1.55 ) 1 Similarly y 1 =.89m ; y 5 =.448; y 75 =.67 From plaxis y 1 =.12m; y 5 =.42m; y 75 =.7m; y 1 =.95m The deflection curve shown in figure 13 is plotted using Brom s equation and from the results obtained from PLAXIS. The results obtained from PLAXIS analysis is hence validated by Brom s equation. From PLAXIS result we can observe that deflection curve is linear for low loads, and it is non-linear for higher loads. In theoretical analysis flexural rigidly is constant and η h also same unless soil layer changed.so it gives linear curve. The percentage variation in theoretical analysis and PLAXIS modelling is given in table Load (kn) plaxis Brom's Fig. 13.

Beyond 18m, the further increase in length of tie rod to 2m, 22m and so on does not show any percentage reduction in the displacement. The deflection is stable at.126m for 18m, 2m and 22m length of tie rod anchor.

17 16 14 Force in tie rod (kn) Length of tie rod (m) 7. Conclusion Fig. 21. Length of tie rod vs force in tie rod The lateral deflection of Berthing structure due to mooring/pulling force is more when compared to berthing force. Among the three slopes (viz 1V:3H, 1V:2H and 1V:1.5H), slope 1V:3H is normally stable by itself and has the least deflection. From the deformed mesh it is observed that the soil movement is much greater in top layers of sandy soil. And it can be observed that the failure zone is like a circular slip failure. When the dredge level is increased from 1V:3H to 1V:2H and further to 1V:1.5H, the deflection of the structure increases by 12% and 89.5% respectively. Hence tie rods are essential to reduce this increase in deflection. The effect of tie rod plays a major role in reducing the deflection of the berthing structure thereby reducing the length of pile, material and reinforcement used for construction. The variation in location of these anchors through finite element modeling can be very helpful in analyzing the behavior of piles in such berthing structures and an economical design too. From the case study, it is observed that the deflection is reduced by 8.72%, 1.7%, 11.4%, 14.9%, and 15.43% when the length of tie rod is increased in sequence from 6m, 8m, 1m, 14.5m, and 18m correspondingly. After 18m, when the length is increased to 2m, 22m and so on there is no percentage reduction in the displacement and increasing the tie rod length beyond this will not reduce the deflection of the structure. Hence optimum length is arrived as 18m for this particular case which reduces the deflection of the structure effectively.
