Mitigation Effect of Perforation Drilling on the Sliding Risk during Spudcan Installation Close to Footprints

Perforation drilling is a promising technique to mitigate the sliding risk of jack-up units installed around footprints. Based on the coupled Eulerian−Lagrangian (CEL) method, a 1/2 finite element model, including a rigid Lagrangian spudcan and a Eulerian soil part, was established, and th...
