Most of us have experienced the difficulty of lifting our shoes up from muddy ground (the quintessential ‘stuck in the mud’). This phenomenon, terminologically called the breakout problem, has become increasingly important in studying lifting objects off the seabed, as it is the scientific basis for a variety of offshore applications, such as (1) retrieval of oil and gas infrastructure sitting on the seabed for decommissioning, repairing or even repositioning; (2) marine salvage; and (3) securing submarine foundations against lifting away under severe storm conditions. This seminar reviews the speaker’s research work in the past couple of years in investigating the process of lifting objects off the seabed. Essentially, it will concentrate on (1) the effect of uplifting rate on the resistance capacity; (2) sustained uplifting loading for offshore foundations; (3) developing numerical structure-soil interface to facilitate uplifting modelling.
