Funded Activity Summary

Building Australia's Offshore Oil and Gas Industry on Solid Foundations: characterising multilayered soils for offshore foundation design. This project aims to characterise soils with multilayers for offshore foundation designs. The commonly used site investigation tools, cone, T-bar and ball penetrometers, will be studied using advanced large deformation finite element analysis and novel centrifuge technics. The outcome of this study will provide guidelines to interpret soil layer information and soil design parameters from site investigation data, that is, penetrometers’ penetration resistance profiles. The guidelines will fill the knowledge gap in this area and will provide offshore design engineers with more reliable soil parameters for safer and more economical foundation designs.
