Evidence points to increasing the development of floating wind turbines to unlock the full potential of worldwide wind-energy generation. Barge-type floating wind turbines are of interest because of their shallow draft, structural simplicity, and moonpoo...

To address the unstable motion of a tension leg platform (TLP) for floating wind turbines in various sea conditions, an improved method of incorporating a tuned liquid multi-column damper (TLMCD) into the TLP foundation is proposed. In order to evaluate ...

Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are common load-bearing structural elements in most existing buildings, consisting of masonry units (bricks) and mortar joints. They indicate a highly nonlinear and complex behaviour when subjected to combined compression...

When subjected to seismic activity, tall isolated buildings with a high aspect ratio are susceptible to overturning as a result of the failure of rubber isolation bearings under tension. In order to address this issue, a guided-rail tension device (GR) h...

The problems of gully and soil erosion caused by large-scale urban construction and agricultural development in China have become more and more serious in recent years. In an effort to solve this problem, a series of gully stabilization and highland prot...

This study is based on the successful salvage of the Korean ?Sewol? ferry in 2017. The approach delineated in the manuscript?the arrangement of two lifting barges in symmetrical disposition to retrieve a large-tonnage shipwreck?is increasingly being empl...

The dynamic response characteristics of a two-dimensional submerged floating tunnel (SFT) under random and freak waves were investigated in the present study. The results demonstrate that (1) the dynamic responses of the SFT under the freak wave are sign...

A freak wave is a spike in a random wave series and hence the local characteristics in the time-domain are of key importance. When freak waves act on moored floating structures, the dynamic responses of the structures in the time and frequency domains ch...

Waves have an important influence on the motion performances of offshore crane vessels. The floating crane vessel in waves gives rise to the motion of the lifted object which is connected to the hoisting wire. Based on the geometric parameters of a revol...

Fully coupled integrated load analyses (ILAs) to evaluate not only the load response but also the structural integrity are required to design a floating offshore wind turbine, since there has been no firmly established approach for obtaining the structur...
