This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening with recent advances in both the theoretical and physical models for wave-seabed-structure interactions, this book provides an updated look at the mathematics behind the interactions between sea, soil and man-made structures. The main models are broken down into key equations, and their strengths and challenges are discussed. These models are then placed in context with industry-relevant examples, in both two and three dimensions. From seabed instability around offshore wind turbines, to soil conditions in response to the laying of submarine pipelines, this book takes a comprehensive look at a variety of wave-seabed-structure interactions. With important implications for the future of offshore infrastructure, this is an ideal resource for industry workers, undergraduate students, and researchers.

Download or read book Advances In Coastal And Ocean Engineering Vol 1 written by Philip L-f Liu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1995-02-20 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this review series is to present critical commentaries on knowledge in the field of coastal and ocean engineering. Each article will review and illuminate the development of the scientific understanding of a specific engineering topic. Critical reviews on engineering designs and practices in different countries will also be included. The first volume of the review series is a collection of five papers reviewing a wide range of research topics in coastal engineering.The first paper, written by Yeh, discusses one of the fundamental issues concerning many fluid flow problems, namely, free surface boundary conditions. In the second paper, a survey on another boundary dynamics, the seafloor dynamics is presented. Foda reviews recent studies on the nonlinear wave energy transfer into the seabed and different modes of wave-induced sediment fluidization processes in cohesive as well as in noncohesive seabeds. Several issues concerning the interactions between sediment deposit and marine structures, such as pipeline and breakwater, are also briefly reviewed. One of the active research areas in modeling wave propagation is the construction of a unified model which is valid from deep water to shallow water. Liu discusses several existing models. The sediment movement in the surf zone is a complex system. It can usually be decomposed into the longshore and the cross-shore components. Dean focused his discussion on the cross-shore sediment transport process. In the last paper, van der Meer presents a comprehensive review of the design consideration for a rubble mound breakwater. Both hydraulic and structural responses are discussed. Design formulas and graphs are presented, which can be used for a conceptual design of rubble mount breakwater.

Download or read book Evaluation of Ocean Wave induced Liquefaction in a Large Scale Wave Flume written by David Leo Thielen and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. In recognition of the need to study ocean wave-induced liquefaction, a series of large scale wave flume tests were conducted. The test program consisted of generating a series of uniform waves over a sand deposit and measuring the pore pressure response. The pore pressure response was studied for a variety of soil and wave conditions. Specific variables addressed in the study included drainage conditions near the surface of the deposit, relative density of the deposit, magnitude of wave loading, and previous wave loading history. Both the cyclic and mean pore pressure responses in the deposit were determined. Cyclic shear stresses within the deposit are generated by wave-induced cyclic pressure fluctuations at the mudline. For a given wave length, the cyclic shear stresses increase with increasing wave height. Wave-induced liquefaction of a fine sand was observed. A decrease in effective stress and liquefaction resulted from an increase in the mean pore pressure during undrained wave loading. The mean pore pressure increased owing to a transfer of intergranular stress to the pore fluid. Pore pressures cycled about the shifting mean pressure at the same frequency as the wave loading. Mudline pressure fluctuations were not affected by pore pressure changes occurring below the mudline. Liquefaction resulted in gross disturbance of the deposit. Pore pressure accumulation was not observed during drained loading. Several drained tests were conducted for a range of initial relative density and wave conditions. During the drained tests, the relative density of the sand layer increased and settlement of the sand was observed. The increased density of the sand layer was accompanied by attenuation of the cyclic pore pressure fluctuations during the initial wave loading cycles of the test. Following attenuation, the cyclic pore pressure fluctuations remained constant to the end of the test. The effect of previous wave loading was evaluated by comparing the response of tests subjected to previous wave loading with those not subjected to previous wave loading. Previous wave loading resulted in increased stability of the sand with respect to liquefaction potential. The increased stability was the result of an increase in relative density as well as changes in the structure of the deposit. Measured mean pore pressure responses for all the tests were compared to the response predicted by a theoretical model. Theoretical predictions agreed with the measured response except for the case where the deposit was subjected to a previous wave loading history. The potential for pore pressure accumulation and liquefaction of a seabed deposit decreases with: 1) increased drainage at the surface of the deposit, 2) increased relative density, 3) decreased magnitude of wave loading, and 4) previous wave loading.
