Centrifuge modelling of the behaviour of buried pipelines subjected to submarine landslides

The assessment of the potentially destructive impacts of subaqueous landslides on offshore pipelines is required when the pipeline route passes through zones with a risk of mass movements. Therefore, quantifying and evaluating the ultimate load/pressure acting on the pipeline is one of the key factors in geotechnical safety design of the...

Assessing Liquefaction Flow Slides: Beyond Empiricism

The liquefaction flow slide is an important failure mechanism for under water slopes composed of sand.<br/><br/>The failure of the sand body is the result of liquefaction of loosely packed sand, which suddenly looses a large part of its strength and starts behaving as a fluid. Liquefaction flow slides occur unexpectedly and develop at a very...
