Abstract
In offshore engineering, a geotechnical site investigation is an important step in analysis and design to ensure the integrity and serviceability of infrastructure. The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) stands as the prevailing technology for offshore soil characterisation. However, this [...]Abstract
Monopiles are the most widespread foundation option for offshore wind turbine foundations and their design is largely governed by lateral stability and serviceability. The determination of lateral soil reaction ‘p-y’ curves is a crucial element for their design. At present, ‘p-y’ [...]Abstract
In this paper, a new innovative method of geotechnical investigation applicable to seafloor is proposed. This method is the improved version of Sampling and Cone Penetration Test (S&CPT) to evaluate geotechnical properties by Cone Penetration Test (CPT) while collecting continuous [...]Abstract
In the offshore/marine environment, foundation elements need to be particularly long or wide in diameter in order to reach a competent bearing stratum through weak, low-strength sediments. The seabed conditions in oil&gas and renewable energy projects can be difficult, and the skin [...]
