Advances in Offshore Geotechnics

Wednesday, 6 May
Room 606
Technical Session
Significant advances are being made in offshore geotechnics, in the areas of soil parameter interpretation, foundation design, installation and operation. These advances are driven by a combination of research and operational experience to supplement industry guidance. The session includes topics related to use of machine learning for soil parameter estimation; pipe-soil interaction; pile group effects; pipeline installation by HDD; operational hazard assessment; and monitoring. This session will showcase these advances and provide an opportunity to re-evaluate best practices in offshore geotechnics.
