An Alternative Analysis of Vibration Tests on Two Pile Group Foundations
Published quick-release horizontal vibration tests on two pile group foundations supporting large transformer banks are analyzed in this paper using the dynamic impedance approach embodied...
Observed and Predicted Response of Piles Under Dynamic Loads
Vibration tests were conducted on a single pile 450 mm diameter and driven to a depth of 17 m. The dynamic soil properties were also determined by conducting in-situ tests. The response...
Forced Vibration Testing of an Expanded Base Concrete Pile
Forced vibration testing of a full-scale cast-in-situ expanded base concrete pile supporting a structural mass was conducted as part of a test pile program for a paper mill expansion at...
Dynamic Parameters Analysis of Piles
This paper presents an analysis for the dynamic parameters of a single pile. The analysis allows consideration of pile-soil interaction, soil natural layered behavior and floating pile...

Dallas Goes Trenchless
Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) has stopped relying solely on traditional open-cut trenching methods. Instead, we look to trenchless technologies to minimize costs and disruption to the public....
Overlays on Deck
By the summer of 1993, a standard specification may be on the books for polymer concrete bridge-deck overlays�a high-tech rehab technique requiring a combination of plastic binder�such...

Design Loads for Sloshing in TLP Pontoons Tanks
Impact of fluid inside the Auger TLP ballast tanks on tank walls was investigated and changes made to the structural design in an accelerated fashion through the use of model testing....
Broadside Current Forces on Moored Ships
A method of estimating the static lateral current force on ships in deep and finite depth water is presented for the case of the current broadside to the ship. The method is based on recent...
Predicting Fate and Effects of Hydrocarbons in the Oceans
Three major sources of hydrocarbons exist in the oceans. One is from oil spills related to the production and transportation of hydrocarbons. The second, while generally not spectacular,...
Cyclic Behavior of a Deepwater Normally Consolidated Clay
A comprehensive advanced laboratory testing program was undertaken to study the cyclic behavior of clays under various combinations of one-way and two-way cyclic loading. This work was...
Pipeline Storm Behavior on Clay Soils
A series of transverse wave loading tests was conducted on a specially mounted section of pipe in a sediment-filled tank, to investigate the stability of unburied submarine pipelines under...
Upper Bound Limit Analysis of Deep Skirt Structures' Foundations
A solution to the problem of determining the bearing capacity of an embedded footing (foundation) subjected to arbitrary loading is being presented herein. It is primarily intended for...
Corrosion Fatigue of Deepwater Offshore Materials
Evaluation of the fatigue life of offshore structures operating in depths of up to 10,000 feet (3,048 m) requires knowledge of the combined effect of axial and hydrostatic loading on the...
Review of API Guidelines for Pipe Piles in Sand
Most offshore structures are supported using steel pipe piles which are designed in accord with API Recommended Practice 2A. The guidelines for analysis of axial capacity of steel pipe...
Effects of Freezing on Impact Properties of RTM Composites, and Their Applications in Offshore Structures
Resin transfer molding is rapidly being acknowledged as the process with potential to create perhaps the purest form of a composite material as representative of the concept of `material-by-design.'...
Fiber Ropes for Ocean Engineering in the 21st Century
Recent advances in synthetic fiber ropes will greatly influence the practice of civil engineering in the oceans during the 21st Century. New fibers have moduli almost as high as steel...
Composites for Offshore Applications: A Multidisciplinary Education Program for the Marine Industry
Composites are increasingly being considered for offshore and other marine structural applications. Polymeric matrix composites reinforced with glass, carbon, and aramids offer substantial...
