From cyclic sand ratcheting to tilt accumulation of offshore monopiles: 3D FE modelling using SANISAND-MS

Serviceability criteria for offshore monopiles include the estimation of long-term, permanent tilt under repeated operational loads. In the lack of well-established analysis methods, experimental and numerical research has been carried out in the last decade to support the fundamental understanding of monopile-soil interaction mechanisms, and...

Reliability analysis of beams on random elastic foundations

The classical problem of a beam on an elastic foundation has long been of practical interest to geotechnical engineers, because it provides a framework for computing deflections not only of foundations, but also of vertically oriented laterally loaded piles. The supporting soil can be modelled as an elastic medium, which can be calibrated to...
