English | 2025 | ISBN: 9819794536 | 262 Pages | PDF (True) | 16 MB
This open access book. This book primarily introduces the dynamic analysis of typical offshore wind turbines foundations in soft clays under marine environmental loads. The dynamic behaviors and bearing performance of offshore wind turbines foundations will be interesting to students and researchers in offshore geotechnical engineering. This book systematically elaborates on numerical analysis methods and dynamic response laws of offshore wind turbine foundations using the calculation flowchart, numerical model diagram, and displacement vector diagram, etc. It can guide readers to apply numerical methods to explore dynamic behavior of offshore foundations, and address the challenges in the design of offshore wind turbine foundation.

First published in 1985, this book is about an important episode, and two of its sequels, in Beijing’s long struggle to achieve two goals, by force if necessary. First, to prevent the US from detaching Taiwan from China and establishing Taiwan as a universally recognized separate and independent country, as Russia and the Soviet Union were able to detach and establish Outer Mongolia; and second, to end the Chinese Civil War by bringing Taiwan under the rule of Beijing and the Chinese Communist Party.

In an increasingly globalized world, offshore manufacturing is often favored over domestic manufacturing for its ability to meet greater demands for goods that can be manufactured at lower costs, ultimately saving both companies and consumers money. However, a number of concerns also arise when examining offshoring’s impact on a domestic and international scale. Some argue that offshoring results in the exploitation of workers from lower-income countries, while others express concern over the potential loss of domestic jobs that can result from it. This volume examines the benefits and drawbacks of domestic and offshore manufacturing through numerous points of contention.
