In the framework of the development of a subsea tidal turbine, the design of the foundations has to be optimal. Cathie Associates, on behalf of HydroQuest, wanted us to investigate the penetration of a single steel foundation pin in a granitic rock mass by using a discrete numerical approach and follow the state of the damaged zone around the tip during penetration.
María José Silva provides comprehensive review of the quality and reliability of various geotechnical parameters in drillhole and cell databases, including the generation of modeling databases. This is complemented by a review of structural domains to create zoning and structural trends in modeling, implicit modeling of geotechnical variables using Leapfrog Geo software, and analysis of modeling results through cross-validation of drillhole data and associated images.
