Geomechanics of Marine Anchors

Zusatztext "This book comprehensively addresses marine anchor design and the governing! underlying soil mechanics. It should be invaluable to geotechnical practitioners in the floating oil and gas and emerging floating offshore wind sectors alike." -- Brian Mackenzie! Fugro Informationen zum Autor Charles Aubeny is a professor at Texas A&M University where he is coordinator of the geotechnical group. He is an expert in offshore foundations and serves on the Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics Committee for the Houston Branch of the Society of Underwater Technology. He is the recipient of the ASCE Thomas A. Middlebrooks Award. Zusammenfassung This comprehensive guide for offshore geotechnics and marine engineers covers the analysis and design of anchor systems used for mooring offshore floating structures, suiting offshore oil and gas industry and renewable energy systems. Content includes basic design, installation performance, load capacity, deformation and structural integrity.
