This book, whose primary aim is to describe liquefaction processes and their implications for
marine structures such as pipelines, sea outfalls, quay walls and caisson breakwaters …

Breakwaters are offshore structures constructed to protect the coastal and port structures
from uncertain and extreme wave conditions. It creates tranquility in and around the harbor …

Offshore structures, such as composite breakwaters, are generally vulnerable to strong
seismic wave propagating through loose or medium-dense seabed foundation. However …

Abstract In past, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and the 2011 Great East Japan
earthquake had caused collapse of many breakwaters due to failure of their foundations …

This paper gives a state-of-the-art review of seismic-induced liquefaction with special
reference to marine structures. The paper is organized in seven sections:(1) introduction;(2) …

Rubble mound (RM) breakwaters are coastal structures constructed to provide tranquil
condition around the port areas. After past earthquakes such as the 2004 Indian Ocean …

China has successfully constructed or enlarged a series of artificial lands on the top of some
natural coral reefs in the South China Sea (SCS) by the way of reclamation. Many revetment …

Roughly 90% of all natural vibrations have epicenters in offshore zones and may cause
destruction of submarine and floating structures. Such excitations can influence the safe …

The marine structures in offshore area, such as composite breakwater, are generally
vulnerable to the strong seismic wave propagating through their seabed foundation. There …

Rubble-mound breakwaters usually consist of a core of small quarry-run rock protected by
one or more intermediate layers or underlayers that separate the core from the cover layers …
