Abstract: The differences in undrained stress-strain-strength behavior between “undisturbed” and reconstituted silt and silty sand specimens tested at the same void ratio and initial stress state may be dramatic. In all tests reported ...

Abstract: Penetration of skirts is an essential design issue for offshore skirted foundations and anchors in sand. Skirts may not penetrate far enough into dense sand by the available submerged weight alone. It may therefore be ...

Abstract: Five model tests were performed to qualify the concept of a monobase gravity platform for the Troll Field in the North Sea. These tests were designed to simulate the conditions for a platform situated in deep water

Abstract: The paper presents the interpretation of five model tests on soft clay performed to qualify the concept of a monobase gravity platform for the Troll Field in the North Sea. The test program contained one static, one static ...

Abstract: A description of and selected test results for four field model tests are presented. The model tests were designed to simulate the conditions of a suction anchor for a tension‐leg platform in soft clay. The intention of ...

Abstract: Four field model tests are used to check procedures proposed for the foundation design of suction anchors for offshore tension‐leg platforms. The test program contained one static and three cyclic tests in a soft clay ...
