Vertical dynamic impedance of suction caissons
Abstract Nowadays, suction caissons are being increasingly deployed as foundations to support offshore wind turbines (OWTs). Due to the overturning moment induced by waves and wind, vertical forces are the dominating ones acting on these foundations.

Moral Risk in Marketised Medicine
ABSTRACT We hope that doctors will recommend and provide the most appropriate investigations and treatments. I argue that some ways of structuring medical provision—mostly, those involving markets—impose a risk of overprovision. This is bad financially, medically, and epistemically, and therefore morally.

Model tests of soil heave plug formation in suction caisson
An experimental study of the formation of the soil heave plug inside a concrete caisson during installation in clay under suction is presented. The soil heave plug, the amount of caisson penetration and the vacuum pressure applied were measured during ...

Modelling the installation of suction Caisson foundations in sand
Suction caisson foundations have been widely used in the offshore oil industry and the current trend is to extend their use to offshore wind farms. The caisson consists of a large hollow cylindrical structure usually made from steel, open at the base and

ABSTRACT This study presents an experimental investigation into the influence of anchor–soil interaction on the dynamic behaviour of tension leg platform (TLP)–type floating wind turbines. A 1/100 scale model of the NREL 5‐MW reference wind turbine was fabricated using a 3D printer, with scaling parameters determined based on Froude scaling laws to ...
