Abstract: A wide range of novel Offshore applications are emerging in the energy sector. Actually, Offshore Wind Energy is one of the most attractive sources of renewable energy. During the last decade, Offshore Wind Turbines were extensive application throughout the worldwide. However, the efficiency of Offshore Wind Turbines especially foundations in one of the currently challenges. In the past, suction caissons have been widely used in oil and gas structures. Recently it is attempted to be used as support structures for Offshore Wind Turbines. Similarly to conventional monopiles, suction caissons supporting Wind Turbines experience lateral displacement mainly due to wind and waves, though studies show that caissons have more long term performance against loading. This paper aims for highlighting the stiffness behavior of caissons in the elastic domain supporting Wind Turbines using the Fourier Series Aided Finite Element Method (FSAFEM) through sensitivity analysis considering the geometry of

Abstract: The monitoring of important engineering buildings is mandatory and necessary especially in crowded urban areas. Achieving a stable and optimal monitoring network leads to a more effective time monitoring of objectives through the use of satellite methods. Satellite geodetic technology along with emerging technologies is a modern way to get data on civil buildings monitored with reasonable accuracy. Thus, the fast evolution of communication technologies allowed and developed several satellite constellations throughout the Globe at the same time, depending on the needs and economic power of owners. In the present scientific paper, we will describe an analysis of the accuracy of data obtained with the use of satellite technology for monitoring the behavior of an engineering building using Romanian Positioning System (ROMPOS) based on satellite systems such as: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Russian GLONASS and European Galileo, but also on GNSS permanent stations, obtaining re
