Marine resources and energy exploitation has driven the advancement of floating structures,
eg, the oil & gas platforms, the floaters to support floating wind turbines. Mooring systems …

Offshore wind energy, as a form of renewable power, has seen rapid development in recent
years. While fixed-bottom wind turbines are typically used in water depths less than 50​ m …

Seabed trenches near deep-sea anchors bring risks to the mooring system's safety. The
prediction of 3-dimensional (3-D) trench profiles is a key task to reduce the risk. However …

The deep‐sea ground contains a huge amount of energy and mineral resources, for
example, oil, gas, and minerals. Various infrastructures such as floating structures, seabed …

Seabed trenches, as a geological hazard, adversely influence the safety of adjacent
anchors. Seabed trenches predominantly appear in the Gulf of Guinea, where the seabed …

The carbonate sand has high porosity and irregular particle shape compared with the quartz
sand. Under dynamic loads, the carbonate sand perhaps experiences drained or partial …

Dynamically installed anchors (DIAs) are considered to be one of the most efficient mooring
solutions for taut mooring systems. During their installation, DIAs are released from a certain …

For the mooring chain embedded in seabed, the axial resistance greatly influences the
chain load transfer. For calculating chain axial resistance, effective width parameter E t is …

In order to develop a anchoring operation simulation system and improve safety during
anchoring operations, a relatively accurate mathematical model of anchoring operations …

For the mooring line embedded in seabed, the axial soil resistance directly affects the
tension transfer characteristic along the mooring line. Effective width parameter E t was …
