An in-depth look at the mechanics of combined stresses imposed on the seabed from wave action and marine infrastructure.
Starting from the theoretical models of wave-seabed-structure interactions, and moving to their real-world applications in the future of marine infrastructure, this book takes an in-depth and comprehensive look at the combined effects of wave action and man-made structures on soil stability.Opening with recent advances in both the theoretical and physical models for wave-seabed-structure interactions, this book provides an updated look at the mathematics behind the interactions between sea, soil and man-made structures. The main models are broken down into key equations, and their strengths and challenges are discussed. These models are then placed in context with industry-relevant examples, in both two and three dimensions. From seabed instability around offshore wind turbines, to soil conditions in response to the laying of submarine pipelines, this book takes a comprehensive look at a variety of wave-seabed-structure interactions. With important implications for the future of offshore infrastructure, this is an ideal resource for industry workers, undergraduate students, and researchers.
