Numerical study of load carrying capacity of offshore mooring piles in sand
Pile foundations have been widely used in many offshore structures and oil and gas development
programs such as tension leg platfonn, jack up platfonn, spar platfonn, and mooring of floating
production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units. The FPSO units are usually moored to the seabed
with various kinds of anchors, including offshore piles. These piles are subjected to inclined upward
load from FPSO. The objective of this research is to develop advanced method to estimate load
carrying capacity of offshore mooring piles in sand subjected to inclined loading. The proposed
research is a part of intern’s M.Eng. research at Memorial University. The partner organization will get
advanced tools for modeling soiVstructure interaction, which will be useful for offshore oil and gas
development projects.
