A CPT-Based Design Framework for Uplifted Open-Ended Piles Installed in Spatially Variable Sandy Soils. I: Soil Resistance Design Line Optimization
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to the mechanical properties of the seabed exhibiting horizontal and vertical spatial variability, an important challenge in offshore geotechnical design lies in the selection of the relevant soil strength profile for ...
A CPT-Based Design Framework for Uplifted Open-Ended Piles Installed in Spatially Variable Sandy Soils. II: Implications to Site Investigation and Pile Design for Offshore Wind Farms
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Interpreting seabed properties for future offshore wind farm development appears challenging given the requirement to investigate very large areas. Current approaches, where significant numbers of geotechnical boreholes ...
Accounting for Soil Spatial Variability in Plate Anchor Design
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The effect of soil spatial variability on the undrained vertical uplift capacity of plate anchors has been examined using the three-dimensional random finite-element approach. Multiple direct Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) ...
