The development of seabed trench by the steel catenary riser (SCR) touch-down zone (TDZ) in its early life can be caused installation loads, direct hydrodynamic and vessel first second-order motions on SCR. This paper presents a numerical technique which pre-trench initiated for fatigue response calculations during SCR detailed design analysis. Examples are presented to demonstrate new approach...

The sources of the May 1202 and November 1759, M 7.5 Near East earthquakes remain controversial, because their macroseismal areas coincide, straddling subparallel active faults in the Lebanese restraining bend. Paleoseismic trenching in the Yammoûneh basin yields unambiguous evidence both for slip on the Yammoûneh fault in the twelfth–thirteenth centuries and for the lack of a posterior event. ...

Improved understanding of the links between aboveground production and allocation of photosynthate to belowground processes and the temporal variation in those links is needed to interpret observations of belowground carbon cycling processes. Here, we show that combining a trenching manipulation with high-frequency soil respiration measurements in a temperate hardwood forest permitted identific...

The property consists of 84 units in I I claims, staked in 1976 by H. Hopkins after finding copper-lead-zinc mineralization (Clendenan and Pentland, 1979). Since 1977, work by International Maggie Mines Ltd. and Placer Developrnent Limited (now Placer Dome Inc.) has included mapping, trenching, 78 drill holes tot:alling 8005 metres, and two short adits with drifts followinf; mineralization (Dru...

The article deals with underwater archaeological finds discovered in front of a complex outhouses Muline the north-western part island Ugljan. include mostly pottery fragments and some glass collected during brief trial trenching conducted 1997. majority are amphora shards, but fine sigillata as well coarse kitchenware were also found, along several tegulae fragments, two oil lamp whorl. Unfort...
