Abstract

Review of the Project and History of the Design: 1. 1 Overall picture of the project (H. Engel) 1. 2 Review of the various designs (F. Spaargaren) 1. 3 Special geotechnical studies and their unexpected effects (J. W. Boehmer) Stress-strain Behaviour of Oosterschelde Sands 2. 1 Stress-strain behaviour from stress path tests (W. A. Marr, K. Hoeg) 2. 2 Stress-strain behaviour for finite element methods (A. W. W. M. Biegstraaten, C. J. Kenter) 2. 3 Pore pressure generation (F. P. Smits, K. H. Andersen, G. Gudehus) Predictions by Theoretical Methods 3. 1 Probabilistic approach to determine loads and safety factors (D. Kooman, Th. Mulder, J. K. Vrijling, L. de Ouelerij) 3. 2 Computation by finite elements (C. J. Kenter, P. A. Vermeer) 3. 3 Simple numerical methods to determine displacements and stability of piers (spring constant and Brinch Hansen) (J. B. Sellmeijer) 3. 4 Plasticity analysis (F. P. Smits) Predictions by Model Tests 4. 1 Caisson tests at Neeltje Jans (T. W. Lambe, J. W. Boehmer, W. F. Rosenbrand) 4. 2 Model tests on piers, scale 1 : 10 (L. de Ouelerij, J. J.
