Abstract: Suction buckets are being increasingly considered as foundations for offshore wind turbines, as they can be installed by pumping water from the interior of the bucket, minimizing acoustic emissions. A key design consideration ...

Abstract: Vertically installed plate anchors have been investigated in this paper by numerical analysis and centrifuge modeling. In the numerical analysis, the large deformation finite-element method (remeshing and interpolation ...

Abstract: Shallow foundations can mobilize uplift resistance due to the negative excess pore pressure generated underneath the foundation. However, quantifying the magnitude of this uplift resistance remains uncertain due to the ...

Abstract: Offshore floating systems are held in position with chains that connect the floater to anchors embedded in the seabed. An essential component for calculating the overall mooring capacity is an accurate assessment of the ...
