Seabed mechanics

OSTI ID:5561848
For most aspects of marine technology research, and in particular geophysics, geotechnics, sedimentology and site investigation, a thorough knowledge and understanding of the seabed is absolutely essential. This reference work covers aspects of this area, ranging from studies of seabed sediments under load, sediment transport and hydrodynamics to seabed instrumentation, sampling techniques and practical site investigation for offshore structures. The book's scope ranges from the sediment ten metres below the seabed to the waters ten metres above it. Detailed information is included on the following: The characteristics of sub-seabed materials and their implications for submarine slope stability and site investigation requirements; Special problems relating to pore fluid pressures and the phenomenon of cyclic loading induced by wave action; Sediment transport and littoral drift under the influence of waves, currents, sediment type and remote meteorological forcing agents; The impact of man-made structures on sub-seabed strata and seabed erosion, and the interaction between sediment and structure.
