Secondly, we provide guidance on the planning, execution and interpretation of low stress interface shear tests, to allow best practices to be adopted more widely across industry. upstream oil & gas strength ratio...

T-Z CURVES POST-PEAK SKIN FRICTION test points for strength ratios of 0.23 to 0.29. These points belong to piles with length of between 30 and 75m (discounting the data...

... of serviceability of the platform are key parameters in this methodology. The capacity characteristics are expressed through a Reserve Strength Ratio (RSR = Ultimate Capacity / Minimum Reference Force). The consequences are expressed through evaluations of life, property, resources, productivity, and environmental...
