Abstract: This paper explores the utilization of the excess capacity of monopiles supporting offshore wind turbines (OWTs) by deploying hybrid and colocated wave and current marine energy concepts. However, there is a lack of guidance ...

Abstract: Repeated rapid drawdown (RDD) and rapid rise in water level during extreme events lead to the progressive development of plastic strain zones within the earth embankments with subtle, rather than obvious, visible signs of ...

Abstract: A common approach to estimating the point of fixity is to utilize the results of a single pile lateral analysis. Although no universal agreement exists as to the definition of the location of the point of fixity, it is ...

Abstract: Analyses presented herein explore transport aspects related to benzene breakthrough into gasketed subsurface concrete pipe embedded in an unsaturated soil profile. A series of three-dimensional numerical analyses were ...

Abstract: Work in this paper investigates the efficacy of mitigation measures to minimize the contaminant ingress into subsurface concrete pipes. The 3D study model of the concrete pipe and the soil domain are implemented in Visual ...
