| Description |
This is a Joint Industry Project
(JIP) sponsored jointly by MMS, Conoco, Chevron, ABS, DOE of the United Kingdom, and Det
Norske Veritas (DNV). The objective of the research program was to improve the
understanding of pile-soil interaction during cyclic tension loading. The project has two
parts: a laboratory model pile test program for investigation of model pile segments
subjected to realistic loading conditions and a field test program composed of both small
and large scale instrumented pile tests. The field test was conducted from a platform in
the Gulf of Mexico in the West Delta, Block 58 location. Based on the testing program,
analytical procedures was developed for the general design of tension leg platform
foundations. |
