  • The static and cyclic pullout behavior of plate anchors in fine saturated sand

    Creator:
    Petereit, Ralph A.
    Abstract:
    Anchors resistant to tensile loads are commonly used in civil engineering practice. Anchors in the marine environment are most frequently used for the mooring of vessels. Only recently, with the expansion of the offshore industry, has the need to develop more reliable anchor systems become necessary. Embedded plate anchors are...

  • Evaluation of ocean wave-induced liquefaction in a large scale wave flume

    Creator:
    Thielen, David Leo
    Abstract:
    Ocean waves propagating over cohesionless seabed deposits produce cyclic shear stresses within the deposit. Under certain conditions these stresses may cause a progressive build-up of pore pressure. Pore pressure accumulation can result in liquefaction or a substantial decrease in the effective stress with attendant large deformations of the seabed deposit....

  • Ocean wave-soil-geotextile interaction

    Creator:
    McDougal, W. G. (William George)
    Abstract:
    Geotextiles are synthetic fabrics which may be substituted for graded aggregate to protect ocean and coastal structures from erosion and soil instability adjacent to the structure. They are commonly used as a filter and as a structural membrane between an undisturbed sediment surface below and an erosion resistant coarse aggregate...
