This book addresses current and emerging challenges facing those working in offshore construction, design and research. Keynote papers from leading industry practitioners and academics provide a comprehensive overview of central topics covering deepwater anchoring, pipelines, foundation solutions for offshore wind turbines, site investigation, geohazards and emerging Australian frontiers. A further 125 peer reviewed papers introduce and analyse the critical challenges of offshore geotechnical engineering in the areas of the keynote subjects as well as piling, caissons and shallow foundation systems. The papers collected in these proceedings report a variety of numerical and theoretical investigations, experimental programs and field experience, with established design methods discussed alongside state-of-the-art practices.
Dr Susan Gourvenec is a Lecturer at the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems (COFS) at the University of Western Australia. Dr Gourvenec joined COFS in 2001, where she works in the area of offshore shallow foundations with particular emphasis on the effect of combined loading. Her current research interests include the bearing and tensile capacity of skirted foundations under general loading and the pull-out capacity of suction caissons under inclined loads using numerical methods and geotechnical centrifuge modelling.Dr Mark Cassidy is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems (COFS) at the University of Western Australia. His current research interests include the development of numerical models for shallow foundation behaviour, risk assessment and the optimisation of offshore foundation systems, fluid-structure-soil interaction and geotechnical centrifuge modelling.
