Experimentally, by generating slots near the gravel packing, sand failure dynamics, sand flow paths, and sand production for the clayey-silt sediments can be microscopically observed...

... complex shallow sediments. Instantaneous amplitude, phase, and frequency are the most widely used seismic attributes to indicate geological features, but those time-domain data are too limited to define an accurate subsurface model in depth. Therefore, seismic inversion is also required to generate...

..., the finite-element analysis revealed that simplified sliding block procedures may be overly conservative in evaluating permanent shear displacements along the potential sliding surface for a deepwater slope. Additionally, due to their inability to capture plastic yielding of sediments above and below...

... Abstract For subsea structures placed on soft seabed comprising fine-grained sediments, geotechnical design may be equally governed by the foundation settlement and stability requirements. For this reason, the soil stress history parameter, i.e. yield stress (σ y ), becomes as important...
