4、The software DAOFv1.0 jointly developed by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Hong Kong Research Institute was officially launched. Based on the wave equation theory, the software applies the load transfer model proposed by the research group considering the rate effect and size effect, which can more accurately simulate the vibration soil resistance during the vibration installation process of super-large steel cylinders, and has high calculation efficiency . The calculation of the vibration playability of steel cylinders in Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao artificial islands carried out by this software is more consistent with the field measurement results. Relevant research results have been published in "Engineering", the journal of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and "Ocean Engineering", the top journal of marine geotechnical engineering.
