Description
The objective was to evaluate the current state-of-knowledge of multiple large-diameter piles (spuds) as an effective part of the foundation system for gravity structures in the Arctic. A literature survey was performed and analysis was conducted to investigate the sensitivity of critical design parameters for spud pile foundations. Analytical tools for spud pile design were evaluated and recommendations for design guidelines were made.
