Abstract: A simple methodology is presented to examine the effects of fixed and floating structures on seabed stability. Liquefaction potential is estimated using Biot consolidation theory to model the dynamic soil response. Scour ...

Abstract: An analytical model is developed to examine the response and efficiency of a rigid, hinged floating breakwater. The theoretical model is verified experimentally and is used to develop design curves which may be employed ...

Abstract: A model for estimating wave forces on dolosse is presented. It is shown that unreinforced units are susceptible to structural failure for hydraulically stable wave conditions. Reinforcing armor units will greatly enhance ...

Abstract: Linearized shallow-water wave theory is used to investigate the interaction of surface waves with multiple rectangular submarine pits in water of otherwise uniform depth. The solution is obtained by a boundary element ...

Abstract: Ocean waves induce dynamic pressure responses in permeable seabeds which result in dynamic loads on buried pipelines. An analytical model is developed for estimating the pore pressure in the soil and the resulting pressure ...
