Seabed Break-Out and Wave Affected Zone Forces
Seabed Break-Out and Wave Affected Zone Forces
(OP)
I have a couple of questions :-
1/ Does anyone have some rules of thumb for calculating the forces required to break out a piece of equipment from the sea bed when it is being returned to the surface
2/ I'm also looking for information on loadings which will be seen by the same piece of equipment as it passes through the wave affected zone before leaving the water

2/ You might try DNV Rules for Planning and Execution of Marine Operations. The section on subsea operations gives some guidance on lifting through the water column and effect of the splash zone. Also DNV RP C205 environmental loadings.
