Seabed properties for anchoring floating structures in the portuguese offshore

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Anchoring structures in marine environments requires a good knowledge of seabed properties, based on laboratory tests and geophysical data acquisition. This work is addressed to the analysis of one anchor site located off the Portuguese coast, combining laboratory tests and high resolution seismic profiling. Seven different classes of sediments were individualised (according to United Soil Classification System), and coherent with the sedimentary layer architecture identified in the geophysical profiles; data provided awareness about the thickness of the unconsolidated sedimentary layer to the bedrock.
