van den Bosch, B.A.P. (author)Land reclamations in deltaric areas provide space to meet the demand for a safe place to live and work. Sand, a traditional filling material in some locations is becoming scarcer. An alternative filling material is mud. Mud consists of clay, silt, sand, organic material, water and gas. Therefore, it is a versatile material and difficult to...master thesis 2016

Lupea, C. (author)Significant financial investments are made in the offshore wind energy, in a race to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The trend is to install larger capacity wind turbines in deeper waters, further from shore. DTI (2001) states that 30% of this investment is represented by the foundation costs. Senders (2008) and Byrne & Houlsby (2003) found...master thesis 2014

De Blaeij, T. (author)Monopiles are being used more extensively for offshore wind turbine foundation. Current guidelines on the construction of fixed offshore foundations still base the design of laterally loaded piles in sand on empirical data (p-y curves), originating from the oil and gas industry, from field tests executed in 1974 on 0.61 m diameter piles. However...master thesis 2013

Bekken, L. (author)Offshore wind parks promise to become an important source of energy in the near future. To make economic use of offshore wind energy possible, foundation structures with minimum costs, but sufficient stiffness have to be designed. The horizontal loads from wind, waves and currents must be in equilibrium with the reaction of the soil. One...master thesis 2009
