e) Anchors

• Drag embedment anchors (DEA) – holding capacity based on soil strength (Nq factor). API RP 2FBS defers to API RP 2SK for penetration analysis.
• Suction piles – For clays. Requires 3D FE analysis of skirt-soil interaction.
• VLAs (Vertically Loaded Anchors) – Preferred for taut leg. Must account for keying loss (up to 20% capacity reduction during rotation).

Damping:
