Van Oord
As a graduation student in Geotechnical Engineering, you will investigate recently developed models for predicting the driveability of offshore piles. Predicting how a pile behaves during installation is important when selecting installation equipment and preparing an offshore project. Current engineering practice often uses 1D wave equation software. Recently developed driveability models aim to represent the underlying pile–soil interaction during installation more realistically, while remaining considerably more practical than full three-dimensional numerical simulations. You will use these advanced models to assess their predictive capability and practical applicability using field data from impact piling operations at an offshore project.
