      Page, Ana M.; Schafhirt, Sebastian; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar; Skau, Kristoffer Skjolden; Jostad, Hans Petter; Sturm, Hendrik (Chapter, 2016)
      Lowering the cost for offshore wind energy remains a major challenge. Increasing the accuracy of analysis tools used in the design and optimization process can strengthen the reliability and reduce conservatism, thereby ...

    • An anisotropic shear strength model for cyclic accumulated plastic strain of overconsolidated clay 

      Cai, Fang; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar; Grimstad, Gustav; Jostad, Hans Petter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Many geotechnical problems involve calculation of the permanent deformation of overconsolidated clay under undrained cyclic loading. There are many existing methods in the literature which have been made for predicting ...

    • Bucket Foundation in Clay for OWT Subjected to Combined Cyclic Loads 

      Chen, Ying (Master thesis, 2014)
      This thesis project investigates the bucket foundation in clay subjected to cyclic loads. The cyclic irregular loading history in this thesis was represented by the equivalent number of cycles Neq with a certain level of ...
