The aim is to analyze and model the effectiveness of floating structures in deeper waters for offshore activities.
Conducted numerical analyses to evaluate structural performance
Modeling of floating structures under various conditions
Assessed economic factors compared to fixed-bottom alternatives
Identified significant advantages of floating structures over fixed-bottom designs in deep waters
Demonstrated increased feasibility and potential cost savings for offshore operations
Abstract
Over recent decades, offshore activities have increasingly migrated into deeper waters, where conventional fixed-bottom infrastructures are becoming increasingly impractical or uneconomical ...
