Abstract: Random wave-induced pore pressure is examined using linear superposition, Miner’s method and a single representative wave. Solutions are developed for deep and shallow soils. A deep soil has a ...

Abstract: An analytical solution is developed to investigate the behavior of a submerged or surface-piercing, long tethered breakwater of rectangular cross section. The equations of motion are solved to provide the surge, heave, and ...

Abstract: A numerical technique is utilized to investigate the dynamics of a submerged compliant breakwater consisting of a flexible, beamlike structure anchored to the seabed and kept under tension by ...

Abstract: The response of a poroelastic seabed to waves and caisson motion is modeled using Biot consolidation theory. The caisson is founded on a rubble bedding layer overlying a seabed of finite depth. Two approximations are ...

Abstract: A numerical model is developed to analyze a flexible, floating breakwater consisting of a compliant, beam‐like structure anchored to the sea bed and kept under tension by a small buoyancy chamber at the tip. Additional ...

Abstract: A finite element analysis is conducted to determine the critical impact velocities for concrete dolos. The model formulation includes deformations at the contact surface and nonlinear material ...
