ABSTRACT

With the development of economy, the demand for marine development is increasing. Steel cylinder with large diameter has high construction efficiency and good economic benefit and is widely used in the artificial island, cofferdam and breakwater engineering. This paper, based on a project in the South China Sea, utilized the finite element method of PLAXIS 3D, analyzed the global stability of steel cylinder with large diameter and thin-walled under the action of wave load, and provided the base dates and technical supports for the project.
