The paper presents an overview of recent developments in geotechnical analysis and
design associated with oil and gas developments in deep water. Typically the seabed in …

A complete characterization detailing the intricate and complex response of geomaterials
remains a challenging task that can only be realized on a partial basis via a careful drilling …

This paper utilises centrifuge data to explore the penetration response of dynamically
installed anchors in normally consolidated clay. The data indicate that for anchors with no …

This paper reports the results from three-dimensional dynamic finite element analysis
undertaken to provide insight into the behaviour of torpedo anchors during dynamic …

This paper reviews the techniques used and some recent developments on in situ testing of
peat for the purposes of the design and surveillance of engineering structures. Geophysical …

In most offshore design projects, in situ penetrometer tests are first correlated with element
test data in order to assess a suitable resistance factor, so that effectively the absolute value …

The undrained remolded shear strength of soft clays is of importance in geosystem design,
particularly for offshore structures. Common methods to estimate remolded shear strength …

This paper describes a centrifuge study using a range of penetrometer tests (T-bar,
piezocone and free-fall piezocone) to explore strength changes in a reconstituted, normally …

Partial drainage during a penetration test increases the penetration resistance, and also
affects the excess pore pressures generated and the form of any subsequent dissipation …

The spherical ball penetrometer is increasingly being used for profiling the undrained shear
strength of soils in centrifuge and offshore site investigations. This paper reports the results …
