Anchors

Moored floating structures impose a variety of loading conditions on the anchor system along with the varying soil properties necessitate a comprehensive engineering analysis to select the anchor type and to design an anchor configuration.

Anchor Design Considerations

Loads by anchor lines
Loads during installation and transportation
Fatigue damage over the lifetime

Structural Design

Geotechnical Design

Soil-structure interaction
Geotechnical holding capacity
Required embedment and removal feasibility

Geotechnical Survey Plan

Research Direction / Past Project
