3D Analysis of Artificial Seabed for a Floating Bridge with Tunnel across Sognefjorden

This Master's thesis deals with the artificial seabed, a concept by ÅF Reinertsen. The Python code ASAT, which uses Abaqus to run analyses, is upgraded. ASAT does now include the option to run analyses with water current and an elastic wire. In addition are aspects of the installation of the bundles, which is a part of the artificial seabed, investigated, where water current and buoyancy are taken into account. The objective is to find a required configuration of barges and vessels during the installation
