System for automated design of offshore rock berms
System for automated design of offshore rock berms
A system for automated design of offshore rock berms is described. The main idea is to extract 2D sections on the basis of the actual 3D geometry (seabed topography and berm geometry). These sections are then processed, first with a bespoke Limit Equilibrium procedure and next via Finite Element Limit Analysis. The end result is a rapid method for automated design of offshore rock berms. In the present paper the seabed is a soft clay, but the methodology is in principle applicable to any material whose strength characteristics is described reasonably with the standard Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion.
