An ideal resource for civil engineers working with offshore
structures, pipelines, dredging, and coastal erosion, Seafloor
Processes and Geotechnology bridges the gap between the standard
soil mechanics curriculum of civil engineering and published
material on marine geotechnology. Utilizing organized information
on sediments and foundations for marine applications from a variety
of sources, it provides practical reference information and
approaches for analysis and design. This book provides an
understanding of the processes and loadings affecting the
sediment/water interface and the sediment column on the continental
shelf and slope as well as the abyssal plains. It outlines the
geological and geotechnical factors that should be considered in an
investigation, and provides practicing professionals with the
information they need to analyze potential environmental hazards
and problems in marine foundations and slope stability. It covers
geology, site investigation, drilling and sampling sediments,
material properties, foundation design, slope stability, and more.
Exploring marine geotechnology from a historical perspective, this
book: Describes the development of marine geotechnology, the marine
environment, and the geology of the seabed Discusses the various
elements of a site investigation Explains how to investigate a site
by remote sensing over the macro scale, probing to look at a more
defined area, and drilling and sampling at the micro scale Looks at
the physical, acoustic, and geochemical properties of marine
sediments at the micro scale Focuses on slope stability and marine
foundations Seafloor Processes and Geotechnology provides the
background for in situ investigation, drilling, soil sampling, and
laboratory testing technologies and serves as a complete handbook
for engineers, geologists, as well as marine and environmental
scientists.
