Offshore geotechnical site investigation of the seabed ground has been a key factor of the successful construction of various types of offshore structures like as sea-crossing bridges, submerged tunnels, and other marine facilities. Offshore investigations are not easy tasks because of the wave, wind, tidal ebb and flows, and others. Recent developments of offshore equipment including platforms and testing devices like as maine cone penetrator have inspired us to get more reliable characteristics of the seafloor. General information on the offshore site investigations and technical trends concerned are introduced.

Several offshore wind power conflicts occur due to the problems in which the site selection process led by private operators is improperly managed. To review the institutional improvement measures that solve this problem, domestic and foreign institutions and operational cases were comparatively analyzed, focusing on key actors from the multi-level governance perspective. First, the status of the site selection process in the Republic of Korea, major issues in stakeholder conflicts, and discussions on the planned site system-related laws (draft) were reviewed. Next, the site selection process and relevant cases in Germany, the Netherlands, and Japan were analyzed. In all these countries, site selection is done by the central government. In Germany and the Netherlands, maritime-related ministries establish overall offshore wind power site plans and conduct strategic environmental assessments for these plans. Futhermore, in the process of determining each individual site, extensive site investigation including environmental assessments are conducted. This aspect needs to be supplemented in the discussion on the direction of institutional improvement in the Republic of Korea.

In the design and construction of the coastal/offshore structures, it is very important to evaluate the geotechnical characteristics of marine soils, which support the structures. Although the offshore site investigation is much more difficult than onshore, safe and precise jobs have not been accomplished in Korea because of the insufficiency of the test equipments especially for the site with deep water depth. The main objective of this study is to develop a new type of marine cone penetration testing(CPT) system, which can be utilized to even deep sea and high depth of soil layer. The system is one of seabed types and employs the conventional cone, which shows more reliable results than miniature cone. The most important parts of the marine CPT including continuous rod system, cone penetration system with wheel drive, automatic cone rod assembly/dissembly system etc., were designed and manufactured. Some tests to verify the developed marine CPT system were performed at both onshore and offshore sites as well as mechanical test in laboratory. The test results show the consistent and promising performance of the new equipment, and thereafter the system would be applicable to various sites with practical/economical advantages.

최근 초장대 교량, 인공섬 또는 해상풍력 기초 등에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 다양한 해양구조물을 안전하게 건설하기 위해서는 신뢰성이 높은 지반조사가 필수적이다. 현재 해상의 지반조사 작업은 해상용 작업선에 육상용 지반조사장비를 설치하여 실시하고 있다. 이럴 경우, 30m이상의 대수심 조건이나 고파랑, 높은 조류 등 열악한 해양 환경에 제약을 많이 받는 한계점을 나타내고 있다. 대수심 조건에서 안전하고 신뢰성이 높은 지반조사를 위하여 착저형 무인 해저지반조사 장비를 개발하였다. 개발된 해저지반조사 장비는 수심 100m 조건에서 심도 50m까지 지반조사가 가능하며, 표준관입시험(Standard Penetration Test, SPT), 지반보링 시스템, 암반 코어링 시스템이 가능하도록 설계 및 제작되었다. 수중에서 4노트(2m/s)의 조류에 대한 해저지반조사 장비의 거동을 수치해석을 통해 검토하였다. 또한 해저지반조사 장비에 장착되어 있는 표준관입시험 장치의 에너지 효율을 실험으로부터 측정한 결과 78%를 확인하였다.

Recently, the demand for the Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading facility (FPSO) which has some economic and technical advantages, has increased in offshore oil production areas. FPSO vessel dose not have self-propulsion system, but has additional facilities for oil production and positioning system. Main noise sources such as gas turbines, compressors, and pumps, are located on top of the hull (Topside area). In general, the noise regulation for the offshore structure is severer than that of the cargo ship and acceptable noise limit of cabin is specified as 45 dB(A). This paper describes the noise characteristics and the countermeasures for FPSO Topside area through investigation of noise analysis and site measurement results. Proper countermeasures, considering the characteristics of sources and receiver spaces, were applied from the noise prediction and various measurement results. Finally, this ship was successfully delivered with excellent noise properties.

For the Gas hydrate Research and Development in Korea, the prospect area I & II was surveyed and drilled during the first phase. At the result, we succeeded to discovering gas hydrate real sample at BSR reflection and vent structure. This expedition processing contributes to developing the offshore seismic survey technologies and data processing of Korea. But Korean gas hydrate test production research, in spite of activating test production at other countries, is such a limitation about technician, GH production technologies and E&P processing. First of all, there is no exist in Korea to application site for the their production research results. In this paper, we have studied the gas hydrate reservoir selection technics of the DOE & BPXA for the ANS test production. And this result will helpful to preparation of gas hydrate test production in Korea.

최근 해상풍력발전 단지 조성은 많은 양의 에너지를 창출할 수 있어 그 기대는 점차적으로 증가하고 있다. 특히 제주도는 풍황이 우수하여 해상풍력발전 시스템 운영을 위한 최적의 대상지이기는 하나, 화산활동에 의해 형성된 지형으로 육지부와 달리 기반암인 현무암층 사이에 연약층인 화산쇄설물 및 공동이 불규칙하게 발달된 층상구조로 이루어져 있다. 즉, 해상풍력발전기 기초저면 기반암에 연약한 화산쇄설물이 존재하는 경우 풍력발전기의 주기적인 진동으로 지반의 강도가 저하됨은 물론 장기침하로 인하여 풍력발전기의 장기적인 안정성 확보가 어려울 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 제주도의 3개 지역에 대한 지표지질조사와 실내실험을 통해 도출된 설계정수를 파악한 후, 수치해석을 통하여 층상구조로 이루어진 연약지층에 모노파일 설치시 연직변위와 응력분포 결과를 도출하였다.

The Honam-Jeju, Korea-Japan, and Korea-China subsea tunnel construction projects have drawn significant attention since the early 2000s. These subsea tunnels are much deeper than most existing natural shallow sea tunnels linking coastal areas. Thus, the need for developing new technologies for the site selection and construction of deep subsea tunnels has recently emerged, with the launch of a research project titled "Development of Key Subsea Tunnelling Technology" in 2013. A component of this research, an analysis of deep subsea geological structure, is currently underway. A ground investigation, such as a borehole or geophysical investigation, is generally carried out for tunnel design. However, when investigating a potential site for a deep subsea tunnel, borehole drilling requires equipment at the scale of offshore oil drilling. The huge cost of such an undertaking has raised the urgent need for methods to indirectly assess the local geological structure as much as possible to limit the need for repeated borehole investigations. This study introduces an indirect approach for assessing the geological structure of the seafloor through a submarine bathymetry analysis. The ultimate goal here is to develop an automated approach to the analysis of submarine geological structures, which may prove useful in the selection of future deep subsea tunnel sites.
