2.2. Numerical Simulation Methods
- (1)
- The grid division strategy of the computational domain: The core area of 1.5 L × 1.5 L around the spudcan adopted a dense grid, and the unit size was determined to be 0.03 L (≈0.25 m) using grid convergence analysis.
- (2)
- The boundary conditions and contact settings: The normal velocity constraint (vn = 0) was applied to the lateral surfaces, and the bottom boundary was fixed in all degrees of freedom (a 5 m thick sand cushion was placed at the bottom of the clay model). The general contact algorithm was used to define the spudcan–soil interaction. The normal behavior adopted penalty function contact, and the tangential behavior was set as a frictionless model (based on the assumption of clay’s low-permeability characteristics).
- (3)
- The loading method: Considering the sensitivity of the clay penetration rate (vp = 0.1~0.8 m/s), covering the common range of full scaled installation (1~10 mm/s), the initial stress state was realized by applying the gravity load step by step, and the artificial boundary effect was eliminated.

3.1. Penetration Resistance Analysis
3.1.1. Penetration Resistance of Clay
3.1.2. Penetration Resistance of Sand
- (1)
- Compared with clay, the shear failure zone in sand was 42% smaller, indicating that energy dissipation via particle rearrangement governed bearing capacity development.
- (2)
- Sand demonstrated nonlinear resistance increases with depth, particularly beyond the critical 0.8 m threshold, reaching the design ultimate bearing capacity of 4400 t at a 1.8 m depth. This response was controlled primarily by interparticle friction and dilatancy effects. Conversely, clay soil exhibited resistance deceleration beyond a 6 m depth, accumulating only 1600 t at a 16 m depth due to bearing capacity plateau effects induced by remolded softening.
- (3)
- The soil disturbance zone surrounding the spudcan was significantly more extensive in clay than in sand. In contrast, sand displayed markedly earlier backfill initiation during penetration. These differential responses necessitate distinct analytical approaches for accurate geomechanical modeling, requiring comprehensive incorporation of backfill effects to ensure the accuracy in theoretical calculations.
3.2. Test Results of Overturning and Sliding Resistance
- (1)
- In clay, spudcan penetration depth variation exerted a limited influence on the vertical bearing capacity but significantly enhanced the sliding resistance, aligning with the horizontal bearing characteristics of mat foundations on inclined clay seabeds reported by Zhang et al. [16] via centrifuge testing. However, sand exhibited a 2–5 times greater peak sliding resistance despite shallower penetration. This peak occurred later in sand than in clay, followed by subsequent resistance reduction. Clay maintained near-constant resistance after peak attainment.
- (2)
- Comparison with theoretical methods (Equations (5)–(9)) indicated general agreement between the experimental sliding resistance values and computational results for both soil types, excepting minor deviations (<15%) in the LC_S1 sand case.
- (3)
- Under increasing horizontal loading, all platforms exhibited combined sliding and tilting regardless of the soil type or penetration depth. Clay soils demonstrated near-linear tilt angle progression, with tilt magnitudes at equivalent sliding distances being 8–10 times greater than in sand.
- (4)
- During integrated overturning–sliding resistance states, the compressed spudcans (#3 and #4) consistently sustained higher horizontal sliding resistance and vertical axial forces than the tensioned spudcans (#1 and #2). For the LC_S1 sand case, the shallow embedment of the #1 and #2 spudcans resulted in frictional resistance predominantly developing at the spudcan base, supplemented by limited horizontal resistance from compacted soil mounds (Figure 18b).
3.3. Case Study in Multi-Layered Soils
3.3.1. Geological Parameters and Numerical Model Construction
3.3.2. Penetration Depth and Anti-Overturning and Sliding Analysis
- (1)
- At a 2–4 m penetration (LM-1 sand layer), vertical sand migration formed soil plugs beneath the spudcan, with the lateral extrusion of adjacent LM-2 clay.
- (2)
- At a 6 m penetration, complete clay displacement enabled direct contact between the LM-1 and LM-3 sand layers, triggering an abrupt resistance increase.
- (3)
- Peak resistance Qpeak = 8400 t occurred at a 12 m penetration, corresponding to bearing capacity failure in the LM-5 clay layer, and post-peak resistance Qpost-peak = 7300 t occurred at an 18 m penetration.
- (1)
- Anti-sliding stability: At a penetration depth of 8 m, with the spudcan embedded in the LM-2 clay layer, the platform’s sliding resistance was calculated as = 2407 t (Equation (5)). This exceeded the maximum horizontal environmental load of 843 t occurring during storm survival conditions.
- (2)
- Anti-overturning stability: Based on the calculation of relevant parameters in Equation (11), the most critical anti-overturning conditions for this platform occurred during the crane’s operation at 90° outreach (γ = 2.437) and the storm survival condition (γ = 2.441).
3.3.3. Punch-Through Risk Assessment and Verification
4. Conclusions
- (1)
- The penetration behavior of the spudcan exhibited fundamental differences between clay and sand. In clay, penetration evolved through three distinct phases: shallow penetration (≤4 m) triggered general shear failure, forming near-vertical cavities; intermediate depths (≈8 m) transitioned to localized shear, with a 38% increase in surface heave; and deep penetration (≥12 m) shifted to plastic flow dominated by soil backfilling, stabilizing at the remolded strength. Conversely, sand displayed nonlinear resistance growth, surging sharply beyond a critical depth (0.8 m) to reach the design limit (4400 t) at 1.9 m. Sand’s failure zone was 42% smaller than that of clay, and early cavity collapse (diameter ≈ 1.2 L) confirmed particle rearrangement as the primary energy dissipation mechanism.
- (2)
- Platform stability was critically influenced by soil type. For sliding resistance, clay showed linear improvement with penetration depth, with early peak resistance that remained stable, while sand delivered 2–5 times higher peak resistance but exhibited delayed attenuation. Overturning analysis revealed that although the horizontal loads in clay were 50% of those in sand, the tilt angles at equal sliding distances were 8–10 times greater due to the significant settlement of compression legs in low-strength clay, triggering chain-overturning effects. This highlights the necessity of an integrated assessment combining horizontal loads and seabed bearing capacity.
- (3)
- A comprehensive framework for WTIVs’ operational stability integrates sea conditions, geological parameter inputs, and penetration analysis as the basis for anti-overturning/sliding and punch-through assessments. Loads must encompass platform gravity, environmental forces (including DAF), crane operational load, and P-Δ effects. For multi-layered soils, CEL simulations outperformed traditional methods in accuracy (with an error of <5% at a mesh size of ≤0.03 L and a penetration rate of 0.2 m/s), capturing soil plug dynamics and interlayer interactions. The case validation using the ‘Haidian Yunwei 801’ platform at Guangdong Lemen Wind Farm confirmed a controllable punch-through risk (365 kPa equivalent pressure < 412 kPa ultimate bearing capacity), with the preload (4707.5 t) outside the critical zone (7300–8400 t) and the sliding resistance (2407 t) exceeding the environmental loads by 185%. Crane operation during installation (safety factor γ = 2.437) posed a higher overturning risk than storm scenarios (γ =2.441), underscoring the dominance of operational load combinations.
