Abstract
Helical anchors have potential to provide the offshore industry with an economically competitive method to found renewable infrastructure. For offshore floating devices, snatch events can occur when a slack tether of the buoyant body becomes suddenly taut. Estimation of the capacity of the anchor during these dynamic events is needed to ensure reliable geotechnical design. This paper presents a pioneering experimental investigation into the soil deformation around shallow embedded helical anchors under snatch events using high-speed Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements in the centrifuge environment. Preliminary findings help to understand the additional capacity of the foundation system observed under dynamic loading.
