New journal papers published & presentations

Recently we published two journal papers. First in Engineering Geology:

Assessment of near-surface undrained shear strength of soft seabeds with free fall cone penetrometer testing in the northern Baltic Sea by Maarit Saresma, David J. White, Debasis Mohapatra, Saeideh Mohammadi, Wojciech Sołowski, Leena Korkiala-Tanttu, Joonas J. Virtasalo and Susan Gourvenec, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enggeo.2025.107906 The paper was written in cooperation with Professors Gourvenec and White from the University of Southampton, our partners in Geomeasure project.

The other paper was published in International Journal of Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics:

Laboratory-Scale Free Fall Cone Penetrometer Test on Marine Clay: A Numerical Investigation Using the Generalized Interpolation Material Point Method by Debasis Mohapatra, Saeideh Mohammadi, Maarit Saresma, Joonas J. Virtasalo, Wojciech T. Sołowski, https://doi.org/10.1002/nag.3929 , another paper that was written based on research made in Geomeasure project.

Furthermore, the Geomeasure research was presented during seminars at Chalmers University of Technology, in Gothenburg, Sweden and at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy. The presentation is here.

I am also pleased to share our presentation from Geomeasure seminar on the 16th of December:

Offshore site characterisation by Maarit Saresma

Offshore sample characterisation and testing by Saeideh Mohammadi

Numerical replication of experimental data by Debasis Mohapatra

Construction of offshore infrastructure by Reza Khalili

Geomeasure final seminar: 16th of December 2024

We are organising the seminar where we will show all the research we have done in Geomeasure (first morning session). It is on Monday the 16th of December 2024, with the details here. You can also join remotely (the link in the file)!

The seminar is directed towards engineers and non-scientists. We go to great lengths to show our research so you can understand it and see what we have achieved! As an extra, we will also discuss how to secure electric underwater cables by embedding them in gravel. This way the cable is well cooled, while an accidental anchor should not damage it.

Everyone is welcome!
