Accurately predicting the setup of jacked piles in marine soft clays is crucial for effective construction, load- bearing design, and maintenance of offshore foundations. This paper integrated UMAT subroutines into the ABAQUS platform using two numerical integration methods: the cutting plane algorithm (CPA) and the NewtonRaphson iterative algorithm (NRIA), to simulate the entire life cycle of jacked piles in marine soft clays. The study incorporates the advanced elastoplastic constitutive model (S-CLAY1S) and the elastoviscoplastic constitutive model (ANICREEP), addressing soil fabric anisotropy, structural effects, and, specifically, soil creep effects in the ANICREEP model. A two-dimensional axisymmetric model is established for jacked piles in marine soft clays, involving unloading and consolidation stages, followed by static load tests on test piles at various post- installation rest periods to assess their time-dependent bearing performance. Finite element modeling enables simulations of field and laboratory pile tests, validating models against measurements. Parameter analysis includes variations in excess pore water pressure (EPWP), ultimate skin friction resistance, and pile bearing capacity in both soil models, examining the impact of initial soil structure ratio on pile performance. Key findings reveal differences in EPWP dissipation rates and long-term bearing capacity evolution between elastoplastic and elastoviscoplastic soils, highlighting the ANICREEP model's capability to capture both short-term and creep- induced long-term effects. Integrating complex soil mechanics into ABAQUS enhances the ability to predict and optimize jacked pile performance in various geotechnical engineering applications.

Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are affected by wind, wave, and current during their service life, which lead to the substructures undergoing combined effects of complex lateral loads and local scour. This phenomenon poses a significant challenge to the bearing capacity and cyclic responses of the widely used rigid monopiles for OWTs. This study develops three-dimensional numerical model to investigate the behavior of a rigid monopile subjected to lateral monotonic and cyclic loads, considering the stress history alteration induced by local scour. The hysteresis and plasticity accumulation of soils are captured by a bounding surface model. An accurate and concise semi-implicit stress integration scheme is creatively proposed to effectively incorporate this advanced constitutive model into the finite element (FE) software. The numerical model is verified by comparing FE results with centrifuge test results. Subsequently, the key factors such as cumulative deformation characteristics and bending moments distribution are investigated under different scour and cyclic loading conditions. The results indicate that with the facilitation of proposed semi-implicit scheme, the bounding surface model is capable of capturing the deformation pattern and cumulative deformation behavior of laterally loaded rigid monopile, and the cyclic responses of the monopile are significantly affected by the local scour.
