Yin, Xilin (author), Wang, H. (author), Pisano, F. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Askarinejad, A. (author), Zhou, Hongpeng (author)Predicting the non-linear loading response is the key to the design of suction caissons. This paper presents a systematic study to explore the applicability of deep learning techniques in foundation design. Firstly, a series of three-dimensional finite element simulations was performed, covering a wide range of embedment ratios and different...journal article 2023

Li, Q. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Askarinejad, A. (author), Prendergast, L. J. (author)The influence of combined loading on the response of monopiles used to support offshore wind turbines (OWTs) is investigated in this paper. In current practice, resistance of monopiles to vertical and lateral loading is considered separately. As OWT size has increased, the slenderness ratio (pile length, L, normalised by diameter, D) has...journal article 2022

Prendergast, L.J. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author)Soil supporting foundations for infrastructural assets such as bridges are repeatedly subjected to dynamic loading from passing traffic. The load-displacement characteristics are nonlinear at even small to medium strains, however this effect is mostly modelled using secant stiffness models with effective linear stiffness. This simplification...conference paper 2018
