Numerical Simulations and Microscale Analyses of Offshore Anchor-Granular Material Systems

Creator:

Zhang, Nan

Abstract:

Anchoring systems are used to hold floating offshore devices (e.g., energy devices, oil platforms) to keep them on their stations. Anchors are embedded into the seabed soils. In some cases, the interface shear between anchor and seabed soils together with anchor self-weight provide the holding capacity of the anchoring systems....
