Stevpris New Generation - Technical Summary

Overview

The document presents key performance parameters for the Stevpris New Generation anchor system, focusing on drag, penetration, and anchor load expressed as percentages of the Ultimate Holding Capacity (UHC).

Key Parameters and Relationships

• Anchor Load as % of UHC: Values considered are 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, and 30%.
• Drag as % of Maximum Drag: Corresponding drag percentages are 48%, 37%, 27%, 18%, and 9% respectively.
• Penetration as % of Maximum Penetration: Corresponding penetration percentages are 80%, 68%, 55%, 42%, and 23% respectively.

For example, operating at 70% of the UHC corresponds to 48% of the maximum drag and 80% of the maximum penetration.

Performance Metrics by Soil Type

The document includes data on UHC, penetration, and drag in different soil conditions:

• Medium Clay
• Very Soft Clay (Mud)
• Sand & Hard Clay

These metrics are expressed in meters for penetration and metric tons for drag and UHC.

Weight and Dimensions

The Stevpris New Generation anchor weight is indicated as 186 metric tons. Penetration and drag values are provided in relation to this weight and vary depending on soil type.

Interpretation and Application

The data allows for estimating anchor performance under different loading conditions and soil types, facilitating design and operational decisions. The relationship between load, drag, and penetration helps optimize anchor deployment and holding capacity.
