Hi all,
I am new around here therefore I will try to make my case as summarized as possible.
Currently, I am involved in a research aiming to study the difference in penetration among the structural elements below, by considering the effect of soil anisotropy in the soil's mechanical properties (soil resistance):
1- Closed pile (solid)
2- Spudcan (can be considered as a onshore solid circular slab)
This research is made in the context of jack-up vessels (technique where structural elements "legs" are extended into the seabed and lift the vessel above water table) such as in the O&G or OWF industries.
It would be great if anyone could point out any existing literature describing the cases 1 & 2. Alternatively, any literature under the same conditions but considering onshore environment and elements such as piles and slabs, could be equally helpful.
