Use of Suction Piles for Mooring of Mobile Offshore Bases. Task 2 Completion Report: Analytical Performance Study

Abstract

The research includes a feasibility study to determine the practicability, efficiency, and applicability of the suction piles for their use as part of the mooring system in deep water. It examines the effects of various pertinent geometric and material parameters of suction piles through analytical and experimental studies. Analytical performance study is completed. Laboratory experiments on suction piles in sand are also completed with those in clay are still continuing. Verification of mooring line analysis through field tests are also completed.
