Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...

Installation and Monotonic Pullout of a Suction Caisson Anchor in Calcareous Silt [PDF]
AbstractThis paper reports results from a series of model tests undertaken to provide insight into the behavior of a stiffened caisson anchor during installation and monotonic pullout in lightly overconsolidated calcareous silt. The tests were carried out in a beam centrifuge, varying the installation process (jacked in or jacked in followed by suction-

Offshore wind power offers a promising solution to Türkiye's energy and climate challenges, with its extensive coastline and strategic location providing significant potential for development between 2035 and 2053. While no OWTs are currently installed, designated development zones in the Sea of Marmara mark the initial steps toward increasing ...

The suction caisson has been used to support the offshore wind turbine in last decade. Normally, the resistance of the traditional suction caisson (TSC) to penetrating into the seabed is overcome by suction resulting in high soil plug causing early ...

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.

Cofferdams provide dry, stable working conditions for construction in marine environments. However, conventional methods often require significant time and cost for installation and removal, and are prone to leakage.

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 ...

To tackle the issue of relying solely on one research approach and the inadequate examination of the elements influencing the soil plug effect during the penetration of pipe piles, this study combines experimental modeling with numerical simulations. Through these approaches, we explore the formation and progression of the soil plug, delving into its ...

Model Tests on Influence Factors on the Pullout Behavior of Suction Caisson in Stratified Soils
As offshore wind power constructions expand into deep waters, suction caissons have gradually become the preferred foundation. The controlled load of the suction caisson for the deep‐water wind turbine is the pullout load. A series of experimental tests have been conducted focusing on various factors influencing the pullout bearing capacity, including ...
