Funded Activity Summary
Shallow foundation solutions for offshore oil and gas facilities. This research will develop reliable predictions of limit loads for offshore skirted shallow foundations to replace current industry design guidelines that are excessively conservative. This project has direct application to the design of the range of established skirted shallow foundation systems for offshore structures as well as new concept hybrid production platforms and liquefied natural gas terminals designed to be buoyant after offloading, thus imparting a sustained uplift on the foundation. The direct economic benefit of this research would be in the region of $3-5M per project. Continued development of Australia's offshore resources will provide jobs for many Australians and sustain an essential market of the Australian economy.Funded Activity Details
