Description
The phenomenon of the wave-seabed interaction has attracted extreme attention among coastal and geotechnical engineers in recent years. Lots of research activities in the area have been carried out by numerous groups in the world. Under-standing of mechanisms and processes of the wave-seabed interaction problem is particularly important for marine geotechnical engineers involved in the design of foundation around marine infrastructures. The aim of this book is to provide readers a comprehensive theoretical background for the wave-induced soil response in marine sediments covering various aspects.
This book consists of ten chapters. The first two chapters give background of the research topic, recent advances and possible future research agenda in the area. These chapters provide junior researchers and someone who starts moving into this discipline an overall picture of the research topic and a starting point for postgraduate students. Chapters 3 and 4 present detailed mathematical formulations for the wave-induced soil response, including pore pressure, effective stresses and soil displacements, and seabed instability such as shear failure and liquefaction. These two chapters provide practical engineers a simple and effective analytic tool for the wave induced seabed instability around marine infrastructures. Chapter 5 presentsan catalytic and numerical models for the seabed response with variable soil characteristics and cross-anisotropic soil behavior. In Chaps. 6 and 7, dynamic soilbehavior and Coulomb-damping effects are considered and the applicable ranges of dynamic models are clarified. Then, random wave-induced seabed response in marine sediments with two commonly used wave spectra is explored in Chap. 8. Chapter 9 presents the analytically solution of the wave-induced pore pressure accumulation (pore pressure build-up) and a simplified formula for engineering practice is suggested. Chapter 10 clarifies the process of the wave-induced post-liquefaction(progressive liquefaction).
