SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION IN THE DESIGN OF OFFSHORE PLATFORMS

One of the more crucial technical challenges relating to the safety of an offshore platform is that due to the soil/structure interaction. This paper discusses laterally loaded pile foundations and other soil/structure interaction problems important to the design of offshore platforms, reviews the state-of-the-art, and provides indications for future developments.
