Background Marine geological disasters (ie, catastrophic events occurring in marine
environments) may seriously threaten the safety of engineering facilities, life, and property in …

This paper summarizes the results of the European Union Marine Science and Technology
(EU MAST) III project “Scour Around Coastal Structures”(SCARCOST). The summary is …

This book treats the subject of local scour around different kinds of marine structures,
exposed to waves and/or currents. The first, major part of the book is devoted to marine …

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 …

This paper summarizes the results of an experimental study on the onset of scour below and
self-burial of pipelines in currents/waves. Pressure was measured on the surface of a slightly …

A series of scale-model experiments investigated the scouring mechanisms associated with
a tsunami impinging on a coastal cylindrical structure. Since scaling effects are significant in …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the complete sequence of
sediment behaviour beneath progressive waves. The sediment was silty with d50= 0.060 …

A review of the existing research on the interaction between a pipeline and an erodible bed
exposed to waves and/or currents is presented. The review covers three topics: scour …

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of wave-induced pore pressures in
marine sediments. A one-dimensional facility was set up with a vertical cylinder, and a 1.8 m …
