- Additional information
- The Discrete Element Method is applied to field-scale screw piling, showing that changes to the installation procedure can almost eliminate the requirement for vertical reaction force, while increasing tensile capacity. This significantly increases their suitability at sites where limited reaction can be provided (e.g. offshore or remote areas). The output arose out of EPSRC NPIF PhD funding and the EPSRC Supergen Wind Grand Challenge 2015 (EP/N006054/1) and led to follow-on service work (£93k) with Heerema Marine Contractors (Netherlands) underpinning first stage statements of compliance (Det Norske Veritas) for commercially viable offshore silent piling.
