Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of deep - sea anchoring technology design, and particularly to a method for constructing an empirical formula for the ultimate penetration depth of a large - holding - power anchor group. Background Art

[0002] As a type of drag - embedment plate anchor, the large - holding - power anchor is a key anchoring structure in deep - water mooring systems. It relies on the anchor plate to be dragged and embedded into the seabed to provide resistance, and can provide a reliable bottom - layer positioning foundation for upper floating structures such as semi - submersible offshore platforms, floating offshore wind power platforms, deep - sea oil and gas exploitation platforms, offshore airports, artificial floating islands, etc. It has excellent horizontal bearing capacity (up to the order of 10000 kN) and economic advantages.

[0003] In terms of the specific working mechanism, the large - holding - power anchor group is usually installed by towing with a mooring chain. Under the action of the anti - catenary effect, it can gradually embed into the seabed until it reaches the designed burial depth. This burial depth directly determines whether the anchor body can provide sufficient positioning bearing capacity for the upper floating structure. However, with the continuous development of modern offshore platforms towards large - scale and deep - water, the requirements for the bearing performance and deep - water installation performance of the anchoring structure in engineering applications have rapidly increased. Traditional large - holding - power anchor groups face many bottlenecks in practice, such as: 1) In terms of the motion characteristics of the anchor body: the prediction accuracy of the penetration motion trajectory is insufficient, and it is difficult to accurately determine the ultimate penetration depth; 2) In terms of the bearing performance evaluation: there is a lack of a reliable bearing capacity prediction model, and the means for engineering reliability verification are insufficient; 3) In terms of experimental research: the size effect of the prototype anchor is significant, and the cost of on - site tests is high and difficult to implement; 4) In terms of numerical simulation: the modeling of the soil - anchor interaction is complex, and it is difficult to accurately simulate the dynamic anchor chain load. These problems seriously restrict the performance prediction and evaluation accuracy of large - holding - power anchor groups in the engineering design stage. Summary of the Invention
