Abstract: A soil retaining system combining flat sheet pile walls in an open cell configuration includes integral soil anchors providing an improved earth retaining system. Another aspect of the invention is a method of designing and installing a soil retaining system with an open sheet pile cell structure having integral soil anchors. The method includes, inter alia, calculating soil forces by taking into account material strength of sheet pile, soil friction against the sheet pile in combination with the strength of the integral soil anchor, selecting sheet pile size and length based on soil forces calculation; and installation of sheet pile to form a soil retaining system. The integral soil anchors serve to provide higher load resistance to the improved earth retaining system.

Abstract: Modular offshore platform systems and associated methods of transport and assembly are disclosed herein. A method of transporting a modular offshore platform to an offshore location in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure includes transporting towing a first platform portion of the offshore platform to an offshore location and transporting a second platform portion of the offshore platform to the offshore location separately from the first platform portion. The method further includes attaching the second platform portion to the first platform portion at the offshore location, and anchoring at least one of the first and second platform portions to a sea floor at the offshore location.

Abstract: A multiple-use, cable-supported bridge in which the primary lateral and vertical deck-stiffening elements are prestressed cables, or strands, extending along one or both sides of the bridge, and methods of fabricating such bridges, are shown and described. One embodiment of the strand bridge of the present invention is designed to span from a first location to a second location. A first anchor member is fixed near the first location and an opposing second anchor member is fixed near the second location. A number of tensioned cables extend between the first and second anchor members. At least one post is attached to the cables at a point between the first and second anchor members. A cross member is attached to the post and projects from the post in a direction transverse to the lengths of the cables. Decking material extends from the first location to the second location, and can be coupled to the cross member.
