Recent Advances in Seabed Liquefaction and Its Implications for Marine Structures
B. Mutlu Sumer
ABSTRACT: A review is presented of recent advances in seabed liquefaction and its implications for marine structures. The review is organized in seven sections: Residual liquefaction, including the sequence of liquefaction, mathematical modelling, centrifuge modelling and comparison with standard wave-flume results; Momentary liquefaction; Floatation of buried pipelines; Sinking of pipelines and marine objects; Liquefaction at gravity structures; Stability of rock berms in liquefied soils; and Impact of seismic-induced liquefaction.
KEYWORDS: Liquefaction, Waves, Marine structures, Seabed
