One of the key aspects of sustainable development is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. In order to achieve climate goals, it is expected that wind energy will increase its importance in the electricity production. Offshore wind energy is expected to triple its installed capacity between 2020 and 2025. Several countries have expressed plans...

As the exploration for oil and gas is shifting towards greater water depths, there is a market for subsea rock installation (SRI) at these large water depths as well. Boskalis is a key player in the rock installation market and installing rock material at water depths of approximately 3000 meters is still far from routine work. Therefore,...

One of the most commonly used seismic analysis methods, over the last few decades is the equivalent lateral force method. This procedure, which was initially intended for elastic design of structures, has been extended to inelastic design, with the incorporation of the behaviour factor q or with the integration of response spectrum procedures...

In the presented work, we have developed a method to analyse the interaction between the wind and membrane structures. The complex behaviour of light weighted membrane structures can induce dynamic and wind effects, so this requires an appropriate method to analyse the structure. When the deformation of membrane structures is large, it becomes...

For decades, sub-sea pile driving has been performed to safely attach offshore and sub-sea infrastructure such as jackets, templates and manifolds to the supporting soil. In sub-sea pile driving, a hammer is lowered from an installation vessel and similarly descended until the (generally steel tubular) pile reaches his final penetration depth....

In the Groningen province, situated in the northern part of the Netherlands, a large natural gas field was discovered in 1959 and in 1964 the gas extraction started. Due to the gas extraction in the Groningen area, undesired induced earthquakes are generated. The strongest earthquake registered to date was in 2012, 3.6 of the Richter scale. Not...

Anthropogenic underwater noise generated by pile driving has been an issue of serious concern<br/>for a long period of time. The underwater noise pollution from pile driving could pose a threat<br/>to marine mammals. To reduce the low-frequency noise, many offshore companies develop<br/>various treatments and alternatives for pile driving. In...

This study presents the structural response of a Submerged Floating Tunnel (SFT) subjected to earthquake loading and other relevant static loading types. The SFT is a competitive solution for crossings of deep seas, canals and fjords, as it is submerged in water and floats at a fixed submersion depth. It is supported by its buoyancy and tethers,...

Jack-ups are used for offshore wind turbine installation (OWTI). To assess whether a jack-up can safely operate in a desired geographic location with known seismic activity, an earthquake response analysis is required for structural verification. This analysis is generally carried out according to the codes of the International Organization for...

As the offshore wind industry grows, the demand for larger wind turbines and foundations increases. The most common foundation type for a wind turbine is a monopile which is currently installed by large hydraulic hammers. This installation method generates a lot of underwater noise which may harm marine life. To solve this problem and its...

Climate change is a recurring topic in the news and goes side by side with the energy transition. The energy transition focuses on using clean energy generated by resources like wind and water. Due to the increasing demand for technology that focuses on generating and storing clean energy, the demand for metals grows. These metals are currently...

The demand for wind energy has led to the need for larger offshore wind turbines, which require larger monopiles for support. Vibratory pile driving is a common technique for installing these monopiles, but current engineering models are designed for smaller diameter monopiles and may not be applicable to larger ones. Additionally, the vibratory...

As part of the Afsluitdijk project the discharge capacity, which is currently facilitated by two sluice complexes, is increased to cope with future sea level rise. It was decided to realise this by an innovative solution: the pump gate. The steel lifting gates, each containing three pumps, will be implemented in the existing sluice complex in...

The usage of tanks has been quite common throughout the industry during the last decades. They fall into the category of shell structures and this is how they need to be studied. The focus of this thesis is concentrated on ground based thin cylindrical tanks filled with water made out of steel. Thin shells are susceptible to buckling, a...

The majority of Cutter Suction Dredge (CSD) vessels (Figure 1) is equipped with rubber isolators for Operator Cabin (OC) vibration reduction. A small number of vessels is equipped with expensive gas springs. Of the vessels that have been equipped with rubber isolators, a number is experiencing large vibrations caused by what is assumed resonance...

As the world's population keeps increasing and the rate of urbanizations increases, The rate at which high-rise structures are being built is skyrocketing. In the Netherlands, this is no different. It is expected that the amount of high-rise structures taller than 70 meters will more than double in the coming 20 years. As these structures become...

Dynamic analysis of the stinger hang-off system cable forces using ship motion data of Audacia. Already for some time the desire exists to acquire insight into the phenomenon of stinger uplift. This is the situation where external forces and motions acting on the ship, stinger cause the hang-off cables to have no or barely any cable tension....

Pile tip damage due to impact with an object (boulder) during the driving process of monopiles is of main concern in the offshore wind sector. Numerical modelling could accurately describe this failure mechanism and used as a tool in practice but also for the development of appropriate guidelines. In this research project, dynamic Finite Element...

Glasbergen, Govert Jan (author)
Wind turbines are growing in size and therefore their foundations, become larger as well. Additionally, they are placed in deeper waters. This results in the industry being at the limit of underwater noise levels generated by impact piling during the installation phase of monopiles. The most common installation method for monopiles is impact...
