op3.anchors.optimal_padeye_analytical(anchor: SuctionAnchor, soil: UndrainedClayProfile, method: str = 'supachawarote_2005') → float[source]

Analytical / tabulated optimal padeye depth.

Parameters:

method ({'supachawarote_2005', 'murff_hamilton'}) –

  • supachawarote_2005: interpolate in Table 2 by L/D and su profile type (‘uniform’ if k = 0, else ‘linear’).

  • murff_hamilton: constant z_p / L = 0.67 (Murff & Hamilton 1993 upper-bound recommendation).

Returns:

Recommended padeye_depth_m.

Return type:

float
