Factors affecting seismic response of submarine slopes
The response of submerged slopes on the continental shelf to seismic or storm loading has become an important element in the risk assessment for offshore structures and “local” tsunami hazards worldwide. The geological profile of these slopes typically includes normally consolidated to lightly overconsolidated soft cohesive soils with layer thickness ranging from a few meters to hundreds of met...
متن کاملFinite element simulation of seismically induced retrogressive failure of submarine slopes
Retrogressive failures have been reported for both offshore and onshore slopes subjected to various triggering mechanisms. As a result of large spatial extension of the failure, the retrogression phenomenon leads to significantly increasing damage and may affect facilities located far away from the original slope. The mechanisms of such failures are not fully understood, and reports of analyses...
متن کاملFailure and strengthening of granular slopes under horizontal vibration.
We present experimental measurements of a granular slope under horizontal vibration. We use optical particle tracking to measure the motion of surface beads as the slope fails. We find that for all but the largest inclination angles, initial bead motion leads to strengthening rather than an avalanche. The initial motion of the beads is usually intermittent and evolves differently for different ...
متن کاملConservation of wave action under multisymplectic discretizations
In this paper we discuss the conservation of wave action under numerical discretization by variational and multisymplectic methods. Both the general wave action conservation defined with respect to a smooth, periodic, one-parameter ensemble of flow realizations and the specific wave action based on an approximated and averaged Lagrangian are addressed in the numerical context. It is found that ...
متن کاملVariability of Bed Drag on Cohesive Beds under Wave Action
Abstract: Drag force at the bed acting on water flow is a major control on water circulation and sediment transport. Bed drag has been thoroughly studied in sandy waters, but less so in muddy coastal waters. The variation of bed drag on a muddy shelf is investigated here using field observations of currents, waves, and sediment concentration collected during moderate wind and wave events. To es...
