Abstract: A tolerably mobile mudmat suffers from long-term maintained self-weight and periodic sliding events with intervening consolidation during its whole life, resulting in changes in seabed strength and mudmat capacity. In this ...

Abstract: This paper reports numerical investigations on the bearing performance of a novel finned suction caisson foundation under combined vertical, horizontal, moment, and torsional loading in clay. From comprehensive comparison ...

Abstract: The hemiball penetrometer is a geotechnical device developed to measure the property of surficial seabed sediments (<0.5  m), which is of most significance for pipeline design and for situations in which traditional ...

Abstract: Results of finite-element analyses calculating the undrained capacities of skirted circular foundations under uniaxial vertical, horizontal, and moment loading are presented. Parallel finite-element analyses using both the ...
