Abstract: Pipelines and risers form an essential part of the infrastructure associated with offshore oil and gas facilities. During installation and operation, these structures are subjected to repetitive motions which can cause the ...

Abstract: There is a steadily increasing demand for the use of jack-up units in deeper water and harsher conditions. Confidence in their use in these environments requires jack-up analysis techniques to ...

Abstract: This paper investigates slope stability and produces a set of stability charts for three-dimensional (3D) slopes for a specific case in which frictional fill materials are placed on purely cohesive clay. As slopes are not ...

Abstract: Slope stability analysis has traditionally been performed using a deterministic approach. However, it has strongly been debated that the use of only the factor of safety in slope stability analysis does not explicitly ...

Abstract: Suction caissons have recently been considered as potential anchoring solutions for floating renewable devices (wind turbines and wave energy converters) in shallow waters, where—unlike for floating oil and gas applications ...

Abstract: The interaction between a spudcan and an existing footprint is one of the major concerns during the reinstallation of jack-up rigs. This paper reports the results from a series of centrifuge model tests undertaken to assess ...
