摘　　要：As jack-up platforms have recently been used in deeper and harsher waters,there has been an increasing demand to understand their behaviour more accurately to develop more sophisticated analysis techniques.One of the areas of significant development has been the modelling of spudcan performance,where the load-displacement behaviour of the foundation is required to be included in any numerical model of the structure.In this study,beam on nonlinear winkler foundation(BNWF) modeling—which is based on using nonlinear springs and dampers instead of a continuum soil media—is employed for this purpose.A regular monochrome design wave and an irregular wave representing a design sea state are applied to the platform as lateral loading.By using the BNWF model and assuming a granular soil under spudcans,properties such as soil nonlinear behaviour near the structure,contact phenomena at the interface of soil and spudcan(such as uplifting and rocking),and geometrical nonlinear behaviour of the structure are studied.Results of this study show that inelastic behaviour of the soil causes an increase in the lateral displacement at the hull elevation and permanent unequal settlement in soil below the spudcans,which are increased by decreasing the friction angle of the sandy soil.In fact,spudcans and the underlying soil cause a relative fixity at the platform support,which changes the dynamic response of the structure compared with the case where the structure is assumed to have a fixed support or pinned support.For simulating this behaviour without explicit modelling of soil-structure interaction(SSI),momentrotation curves at the end of platform legs,which are dependent on foundation dimensions and soil characteristics,are obtained.These curves can be used in a simplified model of the platform for considering the relative fixity at the soilfoundation interface. 关键词：结构相互作用自升式平台不规则波单色 WINKLER地基非线性行为土壤介质非线性弹簧
