Offshore Foundations: Neue Lehrveranstaltung im Masterbereich Sommersemester 2025

@Geotechnik

Ab dem kommenden Sommersemester 2025 gibt es im Masterbereich des Bauingenieurwesen und Umweltingenieurwesen die neue englischsprachige Vorlesung „Offshore Foundations“, welche von Herrn Dr. Libo Chen in Präsenz durchgeführt wird. Dieses interessante Wahlpflichtmodul findet ausschließlich in englischer Sprache statt und ist mit 6 Credits bewertet.

 

Module objectives

• Understand Marine Soils: Learn the basic properties of marine soils and their role in offshore
   foundations.
• Explore Foundation Types: Study common offshore foundation types and their applications.
• Link Design to Practice: Apply simple geotechnical principles to foundation design considering
  real-world conditions.

Intended Learning Outcomes

• Understand Marine Soils: Recognize the multiphase nature of marine soils and their impact on
   foundation behaviour.

• Identify Soil Parameters: Estimate soil parameters affecting deformation and strength in offshore
  environments.

• Evaluate Foundation Types: Compare gravity-based, monopile, pile group, and suction caisson
  foundations for different conditions.

• Perform Geotechnical Calculations: Apply p-y curves and bearing capacity theory to analyse
  foundation performance.

• Use Numerical Models: Set up simple models for offshore foundations and validate simulation
  results.

• Analyse Cyclic Loading Effects: Understand how cyclic loads affect soil strength and deformation.

• Consider Practical Factors: Assess environmental and economic factors when selecting foundation
   types.
