In addition to the vibration loads caused by offshore structure construction, the offshore foundation pit can also be affected by additional hydraulic loads such as waves, tides, and typhoons, hindering our understanding of the mechanical performance of the foundation pit supporting structure. In order to illuminate this mechanical performance under waves, tides, hammering, and unbalanced loads, this paper analyzed the supporting structure with theoretical and numerical simulations. The results were verified with field monitoring data. Moreover, the influences of loads, including construction vibration loads and unbalanced loads, on structure and soil were discussed. By applying these results to the engineering design, this research could provide a reference for studying mechanical properties of relevant supporting structures and the construction of offshore foundation pits.

Offshore piles are normally installed by driving using over-water or underwater hammers. However, there are many situations where pile reaches refusal before the installation depth. This paper briefly describes the current offshore foundation practice, the BAUER technology for onshore pile installation by drilling, the BAUER experiences in the offshore foundation and geotechnical fields and a new technology for supporting offshore pile installation when refusal is prematurely reached by means of the Dive Drill.
