Pile Capacity for Axial Cyclic Loading by D. V. Griffiths
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of cyclic loadings from storm waves on the axial capacity of piles driven in cohesive soils and supporting offshore platforms is described. An advanced analytical procedure is developed to estimate pile ...

Simulated Wave-Induced Erosion of the Mississippi River–Gulf Outlet Levees during Hurricane Katrina
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This case study on the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet earthen berm/spoil bank (EBSB) illustrates a method to quantitatively analyze wave-induced lateral erosion and breaching through the flood side of coastal flood protection ...
Closure to “Simulated Wave-Induced Erosion of the Mississippi River–Gulf Outlet Levees during Hurricane Katrina” by Rune Storesund, Robert G. Bea, and Yuli Huang
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Decision Analysis Approach to Offshore Platform Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes and illustrates a methodology with which alternative design strategies for offshore platforms in combined loading environments may be assessed. The methodology is structured around a decision analysis ...
Risk-Management System for Infrastructure-Condition Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Like other categories of the nation's infrastructure, offshore platforms are aging, and present a problem to owners and regulators with regard to the tracking of vital information and the management of risk. A prototype ...
Wave‐Induced Slides in South Pass Block 70, Mississippi Delta
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Failure of a major offshore platform caused by a seafloor slide and hurricane wave forces is described. Data on the soils and waves are combined with limit equilibrium, finite element and layered continuum analytical models ...
