Research on the Bearing Capacity of a Damaged Jacket Repaired by a Grouting Clamp Based on a Type of Wedge Gripping

摘要

In the process of repairing a damaged jacket with a grouting clamp, it is necessary to analyze the bearing capacity of the damaged structure to determine whether it meets requirements for maintenance and reinforcement. On the basis of previous research results, this paper proposes a design scheme of a grouting clamp based on wedge gripping, which can effectively improve the local bearing capacity of the jacket by more than 35%. The elastic–plastic theory was used to analyze the bearing capacities of steel pipe piles under three different conditions (ideal steel pipe, bending steel pipe and steel pipe with a defective section) and with reinforcement by a grouting hoop. The bearing capacity of the mechanical grouting clamp was analyzed, and the resulting theoretical design was verified by a bearing performance experiment. The results support the conclusion that the wedge mechanical grouting clamp can effectively strengthen local jacket members.
