Abstract

This paper gives a brief overview of the research on screw piles that has been undertaken by several members of staff and students at the University of Dundee (UoD) since beginning in 2007. It will give a brief overview of the types and areas of investigation of research projects undertaken and some of the findings of these studies that have helped contribute to current local levels of understanding and the ongoing direction of research. Much of this work has been undertaken in partnership with industry who have been key to the applicability of the findings.
Keywords: aquaculture, centrifuge, DEM, numerical modelling, renewable energy, screw piles.
