Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOffshore Geotechnical Problems in Deepwater Mooring Techniques for Large Floating StructuresHaixiao Liu, Zhou Li, Yuming ZhangAn effective, reliable and economic positioning technique is of great necessity for offshore large floating structures. Within all techniques of station keeping, mooring plays a vital role for large floating structures. Clear knowledge of the role and particularities of mooring systems is important to the design, operation and analysis of large floating structures especially in deep waters. The present work … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Mode and Pullout Capacity of Anchor Piles in ClayYanbing Zhao, Haixiao Liu, Mengyuan LiuAnchor piles are wildly adopted in mooring systems. However, there are still challenges in predicting the failure mode and pullout capacity of the pile. Previous Finite Element (FE) analysis was all based on the traditional small strain FE analysis. The whole pullout process of the pile cannot be simulated. Hence, the failure mode of the pile is hard to be … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2017 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
