Description
This was a Joint Industry Project (JIP) with Tokai University in Japan to exchange information on soil/pile interaction models. The objective was to assess the reliability of current state-of-the-art soil/pile interaction models and their ability to predict the dynamic response of an offshore platform to actual earthquake loadings. The study will be used the seismic data collected from the Subsea Earthquake Measurement System (SEMS) being deployed in Project No. 68. Results of the project will provide information on the applicability of using onshore seismic ground motion records for the design of offshore structures.
