... Abstract Settlement of subsea structures, such as Pipeline End Manifolds (PLEMs), is typically calculated using conventional software or analytical methods for non-liquefied soil conditions. However, these methods do not effectively address realistic structural settlement behaviors under...

... As plant equipment are supported on foundations, nature of soil-strata over which these foundations are positioned plays an important role for safe functioning of plant. Presence of sandy / clayey materials at shallow depths below the ground level of project site may pose bearing or settlement...

... between floating roof mechanical deformation and tank floor settlement. This research studies a real case of a floating roof storage tank. The double deck floating roof experienced an excessive mechanical distortion in form of bulges and undulations at roof lower deck. A Finite Element (FE) Analysis...

... method of mudmat is given (including vertical bearing capacity, torsional resistance, sliding resistance, overturning resistance, settlement calculation, skirt penetration capacity). Finally, the three modules are combined to form a new split-type subsea manifold design, which has been successfully...

... loose for top 5m depth. Initially it was proposed to remove top soil for entire area and replace with compacted fill, however was not pursued due to huge cost. By ‘Thinking differently’, a unique approach was devised and ‘fit for purpose’ solutions offering optimum bearing capacity/settlement were...

... Substantial ground settlement had been observed at one of the sulphur granulation plant of GASCO and it had affected nearby foundations and structures. This is a major concern as it might affect the integrity of structures and safe operations of the PLANT. A detailed study was carried out...

... ) on the model seabed and the immediate settlement due to self-weight was measured. For smooth and rough conditions of the pipe, the immediate pipe settlement due to self-weight was measured as 0.091 D (12.74 mm) and 0.131 D (18.34 mm). The pipe settlement with time was also measured using the vertical LVDT...

... values of relative density throughout the compacted fill. The assessment of bearing capacity of foundations, their settlement under static loading and the liquefaction resistance of the foundation soil has been based on empirical correlations developed for silica sand. However, the application...
