    Abstract: Background: During the whole life cycle of an offshore wind farm, from cradle to grave, logistics is needed. Particularly during wind turbine construction, vessels are intensively used. However, no study has been found to evaluate logistics costs during this particular turbine construction phase. Objective: In order to close this gap, this paper ai... Show More

    Abstract: During the construction period of tunnels, groundwater seepage may lead to large deformation and even collapse of tunnel. To study the effect of groundwater seepage on stability of tunnel, the strength reduction method considering fluid solid coupling was employed to calculate safety factor of tunnel by using numerical simulation. Firstly, three wo... Show More
