Seafloor Processes and Geotechnology de Ronald Chaney

Seafloor Processes and Geotechnology

Autor Ronald Chaney, Gideon Almagor
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 noi 2015
An ideal resource for civil engineers working with offshore structures, pipelines, dredging, and coastal erosion, Seafloor Processes and Geotechnology bridges the gap between the standard soil mechanics curriculum of civil engineering and published material on marine geotechnology. Utilizing organized information on sediments and foundations for marine applications from a variety of sources, it provides practical reference information and approaches for analysis and design.
This book provides an understanding of the processes and loadings affecting the sediment/water interface and the sediment column on the continental shelf and slope as well as the abyssal plains. It outlines the geological and geotechnical factors that should be considered in an investigation, and provides practicing professionals with the information they need to analyze potential environmental hazards and problems in marine foundations and slope stability. It covers geology, site investigation, drilling and sampling sediments, material properties, foundation design, slope stability, and more.
Exploring marine geotechnology from a historical perspective, this book:
  • Describes the development of marine geotechnology, the marine environment, and the geology of the seabed
  • Discusses the various elements of a site investigation
  • Explains how to investigate a site by remote sensing over the macro scale, probing to look at a more defined area, and drilling and sampling at the micro scale
  • Looks at the physical, acoustic, and geochemical properties of marine sediments at the micro scale
  • Focuses on slope stability and marine foundations
Seafloor Processes and Geotechnology provides the background for in situ investigation, drilling, soil sampling, and laboratory testing technologies and serves as a complete handbook for engineers, geologists, as well as marine and environmental scientists.

Notă biografică

Ronald C. Chaney is emeritus professor of environmental resources engineering, former director of the Telonicher Marine Laboratory, and head of vessel operations at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California. Prior to that, he was an associate professor of civil engineering at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He received his PhD in engineering from the University of California-Los Angeles in 1978. In addition, Dr. Chaney was the editor of the International Journal of Marine Geotechnology, Journal of Marine Georesources and Geotechnology, and the American Society for Testing and Materials’s Geotechnical Testing Journal. He is a fellow of both ASCE and ASTM.
Gideon Almagor is an emeritus senior geologist from the Geological Survey of Israel, specializing in coastal and marine geology, and geotechnology. He is currently affiliated with AdaMa Environmental and Geological Sciences as a geologist. He received his PhD from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1977. He has extensive experience in shipboard operations (geophysical, coring) and laboratory testing.

Recenzii

"… a compendium of many years of valuable information neatly packaged in one place. The book is written so that a non-technical person can read and understand the concepts of marine geotechnology. … The authors did their homework and have put forth a lot of good and practical information…The topics seem to cover just about everything engineering wise about the seafloor."
—Kendra S. Adams, President, Blue Rock Labs, Inc, USA.
"… provides practical and useful descriptions of marine geology, marine geoscientific exploration techniques and marine geotechnical engineering in one text. … the primary author has been a long-time contributor in research, practice, chairing symposia and development of standards. His experience and expertise are well known worldwide."
—Ron Ebelhar, Terracon, Olathe, Kansas, USA

"… the authors have done an excellent job… a great reference and a must read for anyone planning an offshore site investigation or involved in the design of structures to be built offshore."
—Kenneth Bell, Bechtel Infrastructure, USA

"Chaney (emer., environmental resources engineering, Humboldt State Univ.) and Almagor, (emer., senior geologist, Geological Survey of Israel) provide a wealth of information on seafloor environment, science, and engineering in this 11-chapter volume. (…)　The authors write carefully and well.　Proper use of tables and graphs, representative schematics, and a nice flow of text make reading very easy, enabling readers to quickly navigate through the book.　It is written from a practical point of view that relies mainly on site measurements and experimental data (tables and charts) and therefore has few mathematical expressions.　Though the presented material is based mostly　on research and publications in the 1980s, it is still a valuable resource that covers most of the needed basics for researchers and engineers with an interest in offshore engineering."

Descriere

There are numerous factors engineers, geologists, marine, and environmental scientists must be aware of involving seafloor processes and geotechnology (to work in a safe and environmentally responsible manner in either the deep ocean or coastal zone). This difference is due in part to the nature of the sediment column which varies from the continental shelf and slope, to the abyssal plains. This book provides a comprehensive survey of these factors and discusses marine in situ investigation, drilling, soil sampling, sediment properties and laboratory testing techniques.
