Offshore Geotechnics on stage at the 3rd International Symposium on Energy Geotechnics
Chair in Emerging Technologies, Professor Susan Gourvenec, presented a Keynote lecture at the 3rd International Symposium on Energy Geotechnics held 3-5 October 2023 at Delft University of Technology, Netherlands. The topic of the symposium was “Accelerating the Energy Transition” and Susan’s presentation addressed “Offshore geotechnical challenges of the energy transition”.
Dr Benjamin Cerfontaine delivered an invited ‘Bright Spark lecture’, focused on his work on silent piling solutions for offshore wind turbine foundations, and Dr Katherine Kwa presented on “Dynamic seabed-anchor capacity enhancements for taut-moored floating offshore wind”.
Other IROE co-authored contributions included papers regarding the ROBOCONE project led by ECR Dr Sathwik Kasyap Sarvadevabhatla from University College Dublin on “Understanding the behaviour of a new robotic device for next-generation site investigation: A 3D DEM Exploration”, and PhD student Abigail Bateman from University of Bristol on “p-y curves from in-situ ROBOCONE tests: a similarity approach for laterally loaded piles in clay”.
