STRENGTH AND FATIGUE BEHAVIOUR OF GROUTED TUBULAR JOINTS EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT

The use of composite tubular members combining steel walls with a cement-based grout is often contemplated as an efficient solution for offshore structures, both from technical and economical standpoints. However the designer is still faced with a lack of published data to bind the relevant applicative domain of the technique, as well as design guidance to help its implementation. This paper deals with a 4-year research project joining several companies and research institutes. It was carried out in order to improve understanding of the grouted behaviour, and to clarify interest derived from it. The main particulars and results of the experimental work of the project are presented. Tests are completed with a view to acquiring whole data body to support the theoretical studies worked out in parallel.
