Intermediate Offshore Foundations (Paperback)

Intermediate foundations are used as anchors for floating platforms
and ancillary structures, foundations for steel jackets, and to
support seafloor equipment and offshore wind turbines. When
installed by suction, they are an economical alternative to piling,
and also may be completely removed. They are usually circular in
plan and are essentially rigid when laterally loaded. Length to
diameter embedment ratios, L/D, generally vary between 0.5 and 10,
spanning the gap between shallow and deep foundations, although
these are indicative boundaries and the response, rather than the
embedment ratio, defines an intermediate foundation. The first
chapters introduce foundation types; compare shallow, intermediate
and deep foundation models and design; define unique design issues
that make intermediate foundations distinct from shallow and deep
foundations, as well as list their hazards that mainly occur during
installation. Later chapters cover installation, in-place
resistance and in-place response, and miscellaneous design
considerations. There is no general agreement as to which design
methods/models are appropriate, so models should only be as
accurate as the data. Therefore, several reasonably accurate models
are provided together with comprehensive discussion and advice.
Example calculations and over 200 references are also included.
This is the first book dedicated to the geotechnical design of
intermediate foundations, and it will appeal to professional
engineers specialising in the offshore industry.
