Abstract: Results of large-scale model experiments in a wave flume are discussed. These experiments are concerned with the study of the generation of transient or instantaneous and residual pore pressure in a seabed beneath a caisson ...

Abstract: The foundation of a vertical breakwater or offshore gravity platform may fail due to wave loading. The question is discussed whether liquefaction phenomena in a sandy subsoil, such as the generation of residual excess pore ...

Abstract: A simple design relationship is derived for the filter ratio of a stable geometrically open filter in a bed protection, the filter ratio here being defined as the ratio between the diameters of two layers, one on top of ...

Abstract: Understanding of the physical backgrounds is essential for good engineering practice with respect to liquefaction of sandy soils around and beneath marine structures. Several types of liquefaction can be distinguished. The ...
