Validation of a Foundation Stability Model for Soft Clay
Publication: Civil Engineering in the Oceans VI
Abstract
When a piece of equipment is placed directly on the seafloor, it is often important that its position and orientation remain stable. Depending on its characteristics, the seafloor soil properties and ocean currents, the item might tilt or settle excessively. The analytical tools currently available in geotechnical engineering practice do not fully address the behavior of such an object in the seafloor environment, especially regarding the unusually soft cohesive soils commonly found there. This paper presents the scale testing completed to validate a new predictive method for foundation stability under eccentric loading.
