Skirted foundations are widely used in offshore and subsea engineering. Previous studies have shown that soil undrained shear strength variability has a notable impact on probabilistic analyses of skirted foundation bearing capacity. This study proposes an efficient machine-learning method to predict the uniaxial capacity factors under pure horizontal moment loads, without relying traditional t...

The use of wind turbines to generate electricity has increased in recent years. One of the most important parts of a wind turbine is the foundation, which should be designed accurately because it is influenced by difference forces. Soil cannot carry tension stress; thus, when a wind turbine foundation is applied eccentricity forces, a gap appears between the soil and foundation. The gap will ha...

Two-dimensional nonlinear dynamic analyses (NDAs) are performed for a series of hypothetical embankment dams on spatially variable liquefiable foundation layer to evaluate the utility representing with random fields conditioned different levels site characterization information. A set two-dimensional parent models (PMs), each true condition, were generated using unconditional equivalent clean s...
