Abstract:To the key technical issue of rapidly forming a containment structure for a super-large-scale offshore artificial island project under conditions of deep water,large waves,and hard soil foundation,a shallow-inserted steel cylindrical revetment structure is proposed.In-depth research is conducted on the structural stability,elevation rationality,and structural durability of this structure.The structural stability is comprehensively verified to meet the requirements by combining the normative formula,three-dimensional finite element numerical simulation,and centrifugal model tests.Through comparative analysis using the normative formula,physical model tests of wave section,and three-dimensional local and overall physical model tests,it has been verified that the installation of a twisted block wave dissipation platform can effectively reduce the top elevation of the revetment.The structural durability is demonstrated to meet the century-long usage requirements by adopting a combined anti-corrosion measure of anti-corrosion coating,sacrificial anode and external current cathodic protection,and concrete coating,in combination with corrosion allowance.The research conclusion indicates that the shallow-inserted steel cylindrical structure revetment is safe,reliable,and technically feasible,which can provide reference for the rapid island formation design of similar offshore artificial island projects.
