Liquefaction Around Marine Structures With Cd Rom

Download or read book Liquefaction Around Marine Structures (With Cd-rom) written by B Mutlu Sumer and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, whose primary aim is to describe liquefaction processes and their implications for marine structures such as pipelines, sea outfalls, quay walls and caisson breakwaters, discusses the subject of soil liqeufaction in the marine environment.In addition, the physics of liquefaction (including examples illustrating the catastrophic consequences of soil liquefaction with regard to marine structures) are described, and the mathematical modelling of liqeufaction is treated in detail. Also, carefully selected numerical examples support the discussion of assessing liquefaction potential, and benchmark cases such as buried gas pipelines and their floatation, caisson breakwaters, cover stones and their interaction with liquefied soil along with counter measures are investigated.
