摘要

The accuracy of conventional beam models in predicting lateral pile response decreases as the pile diameter increases, due to their inability to capture complex lateral behavior when considering only lateral resistance. This study presents an integrated PINNs (Physics-Informed Neural Networks)-XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) framework for predicting the deformation of offshore monopiles. The proposed framework accounts for the lateral deformation characteristics of both flexible and rigid piles by incorporating base resistance at the bottom boundary of the beam model. Furthermore, an XGBoost model, trained on an extensive dataset, reconstructs the distribution of soil springs along the pile, thereby supplying the PINNs with boundary conditions that realistically approximate soil-structure interactions for solving the governing beam equations. The effectiveness of this approach is validated against multiple centrifuge and field tests. The lateral responses of large-diameter monopiles under scoured conditions are also evaluated, demonstrating the model’s applicability in complex offshore environments. By eliminating the need for repetitive modeling, the approach enables efficient and comprehensive assessment of scour effects across varying depths and morphologies throughout the scour evolution process.
