An investigation of DTOcean foundation and anchor systems
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This memo documents the mechanical loading analysis performed to date for the DTOcean program WP4 foundation and anchor systems submodule. FEA simulations were performed to validate design requirements defined by Python based analytic simulations of the WP4 program Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) tool. This FEA procedure focuses on worst case loading scenarios on direct mbedment anchor and suction caisson designs produced by WP4. These models include a steel casing and steel anchor with soft clay and dense sand surrounding the steel components respectively.
