| Description |
This was a joint industry-wide
cooperative research project; it was composed of 15 different organizations. The general
purpose of the project was to evaluate the safety against foundation failure for jack-up
platforms. The research is being conducted to gain a better insight into the
soil-structure stability phenomenon and how it related to the overall response of the
structure. Current design procedures will be analyzed to define critical parameters and
proposed measures to reduce risk and improve reliability. |
| Progress |
Completed. The proprietary
period for the report has ended. |
