Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As a drag-embedded plate anchor, the high-holding anchor is a key anchoring structure in deepwater mooring systems. Relying on the anchor plate to be dragged on the seabed and embedded in the soil to provide resistance, it can provide a reliable bottom-level positioning foundation for upper floating structures such as semi-submersible offshore platforms, floating offshore wind power platforms, deep-sea oil and gas production platforms, offshore airports, artificial floating islands, etc. It has excellent horizontal bearing capacity (up to 10,000 kN) and economic advantages.

[0003] In terms of their specific working mechanism, high-hold anchor systems are typically installed by towing mooring chains. Driven by the inverse catenary effect, they gradually embed into the seabed until they reach their designed embedment depth. This embedment depth directly determines whether the anchor can provide sufficient positioning bearing capacity for the floating superstructure. However, as modern offshore platforms continue to grow in size and depth, engineering applications are rapidly increasing the requirements for the bearing performance and deepwater installation performance of anchor structures. Traditional high-hold anchor systems face numerous practical bottlenecks, including: 1) In terms of anchor body motion characteristics, the accuracy of embedment trajectory prediction is insufficient, making it difficult to accurately determine the ultimate penetration depth; 2) In terms of bearing performance assessment, there is a lack of reliable bearing capacity prediction models, resulting in insufficient means to verify engineering reliability; 3) In terms of experimental research, the size effect of prototype anchors is significant, making field testing expensive and difficult to implement; and 4) In terms of numerical simulation, the soil-anchor interaction modeling is complex, making it difficult to accurately simulate dynamic anchor chain loads. These issues severely restrict the accuracy of performance prediction and assessment of high-hold anchor systems during the engineering design phase. Summary of the Invention
