Monopiles subjected to uni- and multi-lateral cyclic loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Offshore wind turbines are subjected to significant environmental loads from a combination of current, wind and wave action. Under such conditions, the directions of these environmental loads vary over the service life of the structure and therefore the ...

Effects of grain size distribution and surface texture on shear behaviors at saturated sand-steel interface

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The steel piles and steel suction caissons are widely used in ocean engineering, in which the mechanical behaviors of the interface between soils and foundations determine their bearing capacities. A series of saturated sand–steel interface drained shear

Evolution Mechanism and Cyclic Degradation Model of Ultimate Bearing Capacity for Suction Caissons Under Inclined Combined Loading

open access: yesApplied Sciences
In the marine environment, the suction caisson foundation (SCF) is often subjected to combined inclined and cyclic loading from wind and waves, which may significantly affect its ultimate bearing capacity. Under combined loading conditions, the evolution

Shear behavior at the interface of rough surfaces and cohesive soils under axial loading

open access: yesResults in Engineering
Foundation elements with rough (textured) surfaces mobilize larger interface shear resistance than ones with conventional smooth or random rough surfaces when sheared against soils under monotonic loading.

Optimal control of the heave motion of marine cable subsea-unit systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
One of the key problems associated with subsea operations involving tethered subsea units is the motions of support vessels on the ocean surface which can be transmitted to the subsea unit through the cable and increase the tension.
