Response of porous beds subjected to random waves |
|
| Authors: | F M Layas M S Rahman |
| Abstract: | A general analysis procedure is developed for the evaluation of the effective stress response of a porous ocean bed subjected to random waves. The ocean floor soil is treated as a saturated porous elastic medium and Biot's theory is used to formulate the coupled flow and deformation. The waves are treated as a random process which is described by Pierson–Moskowitz spectrum. The derived statistical properties of the response are used to evaluate the probability of failure in ocean bed. |
