Author: Analysis of Pile Foundations Subject to Static and Dynamic Loading
Author: Amir M. KayniaPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000398587
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
This book presents computational tools and design principles for piles used in a wide range of applications and for different loading conditions. The chapters provide a mixture of basic engineering solutions and latest research findings in a balanced manner. The chapters are written by world-renowned experts in the field. The materials are presented in a unified manner based on both simplified and rigorous numerical methods. The first four chapters present the basic elements and steps in analysis of piles under static and cyclic loading together with clear references to the appropriate design regulations in Eurocode 7 when relevant. The analysis techniques cover conventional code-based methods, solutions based on pile-soil interaction springs, and advanced 3D finite element methods. The applications range from conventional piles to large circular steel piles used as anchors or monopiles in offshore applications. Chapters 5 to 10 are devoted to dynamic and earthquake analyses and design. These chapters cover a range of solutions from dynamic pile-soil springs to elasto-dynamic solutions of large pile groups. Both linear and nonlinear soil behaviours are considered along with response due to dynamic loads and earthquake shaking including possible liquefaction. The book is unique in its unified treatment of the solutions used for static and dynamic analysis of piles with practical examples of application. The book is considered a valuable tool for practicing engineers, graduate students and researchers.

Environmental Factors Affecting the Emplacement of Seafloor Installations
Author: Kenneth Roland DemarsPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Ocean engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
The purpose of this study was to evaluate porential environmental problems at a seafloor site. The specific environmental problems of concern are: earthquake occurrence and effects, sediment scour and deposition, slope stability, seafloor vehicle trafficability, and turbidity currents. Pertinent information on each problem area is presented including an evaluation of the magnitude, probability of occurrence, and effects on seafllor installations. General information is also presented on the seafloor environment including the geomorphology, bottom currents, and sediments. Guidelines are recommended for evaluating each problem area. Some specific recommendations are to avoid construction sites close to an active fault or on an unstable slope if earthquakes registering 6.0 on the Richter Scale have been recorded within 100 miles; on slopes greater than 10 degrees, and preferably on slopes greater than 5 degrees--to minimize creep movement and earthquake-induced failures; and where there is more than a low probability of occurrence of turbidity currents large enough to damage a structure during its useful life. Another factor is that structures near sediment sources may be subject to long-term burial and to local scour effects running gear for seafloor vehicles. (Author).
