His lead- ership helped motivate oil companies to fund re- search programmes investigating the performance of offshore piles exposed to lateral and axial loading under cyclic and extreme hurricane conditions. The first...

(1991) show that reliable local stress measurements are critically important in testing alternative hypotheses regarding the effects of pile installation, equalisation and (static or cyclic) load testing. Most test programmes consider only uniform cyclic loading...

It is therefore, imperative that site investigations are integrated into the development programme to provide a comprehensive understanding of site conditions. This is achieved through a variety of methods including remote sensing and ground truthing...
