• Pile tip deformation caused by obstacles 

      Jorna, Menno Maarten (Master thesis, 2018)
      To identify the pile tip deformation, a finite element model is established. Six volume elements over the thickness are required at the contact zone to model the pile-boulder interaction accurately. Axial- and lateral soil ...
    • Seismic Inversion for Identification of Soil Stiffness and Damping for Offshore Wind Turbines 

      Armstrong, Michael Andrew (Master thesis, 2016)
      Non-invasive in-situ measurements can determine the soil properties in an undisturbed way, providing a more accurate characterization of the soil stiffness and damping. This report focuses on the multichannel analysis of ...
    • The Modelling of Suction Caisson Foundations for Multi-Footed Structures 

      Dekker, Marijn Johannes (Master thesis, 2014)
      Suction caissons are a type of offshore foundation that allow for fast and noise-free installation and decommissioning of offshore structures. They have been used for 20 years in the oil and gas industry and are also ...
