Abstract: Combined loading of foundations is a fundamental problem in civil engineering, particularly in the offshore industry where harsh environmental conditions occur. Large moment and horizontal loads may be applied to the ...

Abstract: Suction caissons are a relatively new design being considered for use as foundations in a wide variety of offshore applications. They are unusual in that, in contrast with the development of offshore piling, there is no ...

Abstract: This paper explores the application of a numerical method for modeling pseudorandom cyclic loading, at very large cycle numbers, to the design of offshore wind turbine foundations. The work expands the development of a ...
