The bearing properties of methane hydrate-bearing foundation will be changed by massive exploitation of methane hydrate, which is originally stored in deep-sea methane hydrate-bearing soils and influences the properties of the foundation. Plate loading tests on methane hydrate-bearing foundations with three different hydrate saturations are performed using the micro-bond contact model considering hydrate cementation thickness of the deep-sea methane hydrate-bearing soils proposed by Jiang et al. The bearing...
