Abstract

This report presents the results on overall forces acting on the SSG structure in 3D wave conditions. This study was done according to the Co-operation agreement between WEVEnergy AS (Norway) and Aalborg University, Department of Civil Engineering of which the present report is part of Phase 5.

The tests have been realized at the Department of civil Engineering, AAU, in the 3D deep water tank with a scale model 1:60 to prototype and a reproduced bathymetry of the selected location at the time of the experiments. Overall forces and moments have been measured during the tests. The results are given in terms of maximum forces in the three different directions and respective application points on the structure. Also results in terms of overturning moments are presented.
