The safe and economic use of mobile jack-up structures is critical to the prosperous development of Australia's significant offshore oil and gas industry. However, their use is hindered by potential 'punch-through' failure during installation, when their large conical footings can unexpectedly and uncontrollably push a locally strong zone of soil into underlying softer material. To improve their safety, this research will investigate a potential new site-investigation procedure and develop an appropriate calculation method for predicting failures for sites where sand overlies clay. Results will be based on a series of innovative physical and numerical experiments, and assessed against field data and existing industry standards.

安全、经济地使用移动的自升式结构对于澳大利亚重要的海上石油和天然气工业的繁荣发展至关重要。然而，它们的使用受到安装过程中潜在的“穿通”故障的阻碍，当它们的大型圆锥形基脚可以意外地且不受控制地将局部坚固的土壤区域推入下层较软的材料中时。为了提高其安全性，本研究将调查一个潜在的新的现场调查程序，并制定一个适当的计算方法，预测失败的网站，砂覆盖粘土。结果将基于一系列创新的物理和数值实验，并根据现场数据和现有的行业标准进行评估。
