Offshore anchor piles are usually loaded at a padeye on pile surface. The padeye depth can be at the seabed or below it. Using a padeye below the seabed is widely used in case of suction caissons. However, anchor piles are more flexible and the mode of failure will be different from that for suction caissons. In the current parametric study, the ef...

The current study examines the possibility of simulating a quay wall foundation on a gravel pile improved seabed by using the finite element method. For this purpose data from the construction of the New Port of Patras were used. The behavior of the construction was simulated by conducting a series of parametric analyses altering the length and the...
A finite element model for the pore pressure responses under the action of combined waves and current is proposed and verified with the existing experimental data. In this numerical model, both transient and residual pore pressure responses are simulated simultaneously. The numerical results indicate that the transient pore pressure is dominant in...
This study investigates the bearing capacities of group pile foundation (jacket foundation) installed on the seabed of offshore wind farm (OWF) at the Changhua coast of Western Taiwan for the jacket support structure of offshore wind turbine (OWT) using three-dimensional (3-D) finite element method (FEM). The jacket foundations are subjected to a c...
Modal behaviors of a 5MW offshore wind system including suction bucket foundation was analyzed by finite element model. A simplified rotor-nacelle-assembly was presented, and it was applied to modal analysis of the offshore wind turbine system. Parametric studies were also conducted to analyze effects of several designfactors on the natural frequen...
Flexible risers which are used for transporting oil and gas between the seabed and surface in ultra-deep waters have a very complex internal structure. Therefore, accurate modeling of their behaviour is a great challenge for the oil and gas industry. Constitutive laws based on beam models which allow the large-scale dynamics of pipes to be related...

... For flexible piles, the OLP is chosen to strike an optimum balance between the pile length and the pile cross-section, which are governed by the axial component of the mooring load and the bending caused by the lateral component of the mooring load, respectively (Eltaher et al., 2003). FE analysis was performed by Ramadan et al. (2015) to quantify the effect of padeye depth on the behavior of flexible piles and an optimal padeye depth was recommended. For rigid piles, the OLP of the pile is similar to that of suction anchors, where the failure mode of the pile is pure translation without rotation (Keaveny et al., 1994). ...
