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).

Analysis and Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations
Author: Lymon C. ReesePublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0471431591
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
One-of-a-kind coverage on the fundamentals of foundation analysis and design Analysis and Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations is a significant new resource to the engineering principles used in the analysis and design of both shallow and deep, load-bearing foundations for a variety of building and structural types. Its unique presentation focuses on new developments in computer-aided analysis and soil-structure interaction, including foundations as deformable bodies. Written by the world's leading foundation engineers, Analysis and Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations covers everything from soil investigations and loading analysis to major types of foundations and construction methods. It also features: * Coverage on computer-assisted analytical methods, balanced with standard methods such as site visits and the role of engineering geology * Methods for computing the capacity and settlement of both shallow and deep foundations * Field-testing methods and sample case studies, including projects where foundations have failed, supported with analyses of the failure * CD-ROM containing demonstration versions of analytical geotechnical software from Ensoft, Inc. tailored for use by students in the classroom
