... explicit expression is constructed in terms of the loading rate and multiple factors, which can be effectively utilized to calculate the end-bearing capacity factor of OMNI-Max anchors in clay under complex conditions. The pullout capacity of OMNI-Max anchors is determined by not only the loading rate...

... foundation embedded in clay. Comparisons with laboratory model tests were also made to verify the accuracy of the proposed analytical method. Parametric studies were conducted to investigate the effects of key factors on the pullout resistance of caisson. This study found the pullout force nonlinearly...

... to the pile. This paper addresses the problem of offshore pile installation in saturated clay by examining the mechanisms associated with water jet techniques. Parameters controlling installation geometry and pile embedment depth within the seabed are established based on tests carried out in laboratory...

... pullout capacity of embedded suction anchors in clay seafloor. Validation has been made through comparisons with the centrifuge model test results. Results indicate that the horizontal pullout capacity of the embedded suction anchor in clay increases, reaches its peak, and then starts to decrease...

... Sea region. Various spud-can-soil interaction models such as pinned, fixed-base, hyperelastic, and nonlinear elastoplastic spud-can models are applied. The soil type is varied from loose to dense sand and also from soft NC clay to very stiff OC Clay. The effect of bias and coefficient of variation...

... and clay. It is shown that physical model testing is a viable procedure for studying prototype pull-in loads for relevant field situations. 2 Flowline connection sequence Contributed by the OOAE Division of the THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS for publication in the ASME...
