A probabilistic approach to the prediction of spudcan penetration of jack-up units

A statistically-based method is described for presenting a range of predictions of spudcan loadpenetration response. Measured data can be compared with a family of percentile curves to assess whether observations are within the range of expected behaviour. Tentative suggestions are made for decision...

Zusammenfassung:A statistically-based method is described for presenting a range of predictions of spudcan loadpenetration response. Measured data can be compared with a family of percentile curves to assess whether observations are within the range of expected behaviour. Tentative suggestions are made for decision making, based on the quality of comparison between observations and expectations
