Abstract: Large-diameter monopiles are widely used foundations for offshore wind turbines. In the present study, three-dimensional finite-element (FE) analyses are performed to estimate the static lateral load-carrying capacity of ...

Abstract: Steel catenary risers (SCR) are widely used in deepwater oil and gas production. The riser–seabed–water interaction near the touchdown zone is one of the main concerns in the design of fatigue life of SCR. During upward ...

Abstract: Finite-element modeling of pipelines buried in dense sand under oblique loading in vertical (upward)–lateral load space is presented. The prepeak hardening, postpeak softening, density, and confining pressure–dependent ...

Abstract: Groundwater seepage and an increased lateral earth pressure coefficient at rest (K0) increase the potential for triggering large-scale landslides in sensitive clays. After the failure is triggered, the successive retrogressive ...

Abstract: Chilled gas pipelines generally traverse a long distance through various soils and may operate for decades with varying temperatures of gas, surrounding soil, and ground surface. The present study investigates the effects ...
