Abstract: This paper addresses a three-dimensional consolidation problem through experimentation in a geotechnical centrifuge. During a discontinuous footing installation, which is typical for mobile offshore drilling rigs, periods ...

Abstract: ccessing scientific data and information through an online portal can be a frustrating task, often because of the fact that they were not built with the user?s needs in mind. The concept of making web interfaces easy to ...

Abstract: A new high temperature brazing technology for the repair of turbine components made of single crystalline nickel based superalloys has been developed. It allows the repair of single crystalline ...

Abstract: High-temperature diffusion brazing is a very important technology for filling cracks in components from single-crystalline nickel-base superalloys as used in aircraft engines and stationary gas ...

Abstract: The evaluation of the foundation capacity under combined vertical, horizontal, and moment loading is an essential element of the site-specific assessment that ensures mobile jackup rigs are safe to operate in large storms. ...

Abstract: Monopiles are widely used as the foundation to support offshore wind turbines (OWTs). The response of monopile-supported OWTs is strongly affected by the natural frequency of the system relative to the load spectrum, and ...

Abstract: The influence of the pile installation by vibratory or impact driving on the response to subsequent cyclic lateral loading, as faced in the offshore environment, is investigated numerically. Large-deformation analyses of ...

Abstract: Monopiles under in-service conditions are subjected to lateral forces and resultant bending moments from the offshore environment. The subsequent lateral response following installation is significantly influenced by the ...

Abstract: Suction bucket jackets have been used as foundations for offshore wind turbines in intermediate water depths where layered soil stratigraphies are often encountered. Although suction installation in layered soils has been ...

Abstract: Suction buckets are being increasingly considered as foundations for offshore wind turbines, as they can be installed by pumping water from the interior of the bucket, minimizing acoustic emissions. A key design consideration ...
