Abstract: This study presents a range of numerical modeling to evaluate the pullout capability of suction anchors subjected to inclined mooring loading in a clay-over-silty-sand deposit. Comprehensive numerical models were generated, ...

Abstract: Spudcans are commonly installed to support jack-up vessels in construction process of offshore wind turbines (OWTs), which may induce significant soil deformation that may impact existing foundations of established OWTs. ...

Abstract: Almost all of the available test data for pressure–volumetric strain curves [equations of state (EoS)] of concrete are based on static triaxial tests and one-dimensional impact tests, for example, the flyer-plate impact ...

Abstract: Blasts using decoupled charge with various coupling mediums are extensively operated in underground excavation, and blasting challenges are always encountered in deep rock mass due to the influence of high in-situ stress. ...

Abstract: This paper experimentally investigates the influence of saturation on dynamic behaviors of concrete under both tension and compression stress states. Two grades of concrete were saturated to 0%, 50%, and 100% by oven drying ...

Abstract: Hybrid skirted foundations have remarkably catered to the escalating demands in larger load-bearing capacity of offshore wind turbines due to its outstanding horizontal load resistance capacity and cost-effectiveness in ...

Abstract: During the construction of an offshore wind turbine (OWT) system, the lifting of the wind turbine blade requires setting up of jacks near preinstalled foundations, which could impact the existing adjacent foundations. To ...

Abstract: A buried bucket foundation combined with a vertical truss is a new foundation system for photovoltaic farms in marine tidal flat (MTF) areas with deep soft soil. This paper employs numerical methods to study the response ...
