The majority of geotechnical structures will be subjected to environmentally induced cyclic loads during their life-spans. These cyclic loads can be from a variety of sources, e.g. traffic, machines, wind and waves, construction or earthquakes. Repeated loading can range from a large number of high-probability cycles with relatively small amplitude, to a small number of low-probability cycles with relatively large amplitude. The cyclic loading will commonly be multi-axial and have a loading-time history that is irregular, with amplitude and frequency changes from cycle to cycle. This loading can lead to the accumulation of residual strains and stress changes that affect the performance or stability of the structure. Models for predicting the effects of random cyclic loading on geotechnical structures are relatively crude and are generally based on limited field and scaled model studies. Hence, more research is needed to address different aspects of random cyclic loads induced from environmental sources (e.g. wind, sea-waves and earthquakes) and provide understanding for better predictive design tools for geotechnical structures.***The aim of this project will be the investigation of the soil-structure behavior of two types of geotechnical structure: namely, foundations and pipelines, when subjected to complex combinations of vertical, horizontal and moment loads under random variable amplitude cyclic conditions. Cyclic predictive models will be validated and calibrated for predicting the behavior of these geotechnical structures, supported by data from field testing, scaled physical model testing and computer analysis. Appropriate loading and response time-histories for typical random environmental processes will be used in the development of these predictive methods. Understanding of the behavior of these geotechnical systems under cyclic environmental loading and optimization of analytical methods will provide improvements in design and prediction of their behavior. Over the funding period, data and knowledge accrued from the research will be utilized by engineers working in construction, geosciences, energy and the offshore industry. The proposed infrastructure will enable the creation of: (i) knowledge of structures and geotechnical processes, (ii) databases of field-scale behavior, (iii) design and construction information and (iv) data for numerical and analytical method validation. The primary sectors of application impacted by this work will be the wind energy, and oil and gas industries. **

大多数岩土结构在其使用寿命期间都会受到环境引起的循环载荷的影响。这些循环负载可以来自多种来源，例如交通、机器、风浪、建筑或地震。重复加载的范围可以从大量具有相对较小幅度的高概率循环到少量具有相对较大幅度的低概率循环。循环载荷通常是多轴的，并且具有不规则的载荷时间历史，每个周期的幅度和频率都发生变化。这种载荷会导致残余应变和应力变化的积累，从而影响结构的性能或稳定性。 用于预测随机循环荷载对岩土结构影响的模型相对粗糙，通常基于有限的现场和比例模型研究。因此，需要更多的研究来解决环境源（例如风、海浪和地震）引起的随机循环载荷的不同方面，并为更好的岩土结构预测设计工具提供理解。***该项目的目的是研究两种类型岩土结构（即基础和管道）在承受垂直、水平和弯矩的复杂组合时的土壤结构行为。 随机变幅循环条件下的载荷。循环预测模型将经过验证和校准，以预测这些岩土结构的行为，并得到现场测试、比例物理模型测试和计算机分析数据的支持。在这些预测方法的开发中将使用典型随机环境过程的适当载荷和响应时间历史。了解这些岩土系统在循环环境载荷下的行为和分析方法的优化将有助于改进其行为的设计和预测。在资助期间，研究中积累的数据和知识将被建筑、地球科学、能源和近海行业的工程师利用。拟议的基础设施将能够创建：（i）结构和岩土工程知识，（ii）现场规模行为数据库，（iii）设计和施工信息以及（iv）用于数值和分析方法验证的数据。受这项工作影响的主要应用领域将是风能、石油和天然气行业。 **
