Abstract
In this study, a new three-dimensional model was developed to provide a better understanding of the mechanism for wave-induced seabed response around the mono-pile. Based on the poro-elastic theory, the fully dynamic formulations were adopted in the present model to simulate the pore pressure, soil stresses and the displacements of both soil and mono-pile. Good agreement between the numerical simulation and experimental results was obtained. Based on the parametric study, the numerical results concluded that (1) the wave diffraction and reflection have significant effects on the pore pressure and soil displacements around the mono-pile; (2) the largest discrepancy of pore pressure due to the variation in seabed parameters appears in front of mono-pile, while the smallest discrepancy is at the position of angle 3π/4 with respect to the incident wave direction and (3) the increase in the mono-pile horizontal displacement corresponds to the increase in the wave height and the decrease in the seabed Young's modulus.
