Abstract
Provided is a buoyancy-resistant pile for subsea structure installation, the buoyancy-resistant pile including: a pile main body having one end buried in a seabed or a concrete foundation and having a hollow portion provided therein; and a pull-out resistor coupled to pass through a side surface of the pile main body and buried in the seabed or the concrete foundation.
Claims5
A buoyancy-resistant pile for subsea structure installation, the buoyancy-resistant pile comprising:
- a pile main body including:
- one end configured to be buried in a seabed or a concrete foundation;
- a hollow portion;
- an inner tube surrounding the hollow portion;
- an outer tube surrounding the inner tube;
- a concrete material filled between the inner tube and the outer tube;
- and
- at least one through-hole defined to penetrate an outer circumferential surface of the pile main body and extending to the hollow portion;
- and
- at least one pull-out resistor coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the pile main body by being inserted into the at least one through-hole, and configured to be buried in the seabed or the concrete foundation,
- wherein a ratio of an exposed length of the at least one pull-out resistor that is exposed outside of the pile main body to a total length of the at least one pull-out resistor is between 0.5 to 0.65, and
- wherein the at least one pull-out resistor includes a plurality of pull-out resistors spaced apart around the outer circumferential surface of the pile main body.
