... was accomplished with a suction pile attached to its top. Subsequent proof tests validated the design loading capacity of embedded suction anchors. A floating breakwater consisted of four separate units was constructed. Initially, embedded deadweight concrete blocks were considered to moor the floating breakwater...

...E. J. van Iperen; G. Z. Forristall; J. A. Battjes; J. A. Pinkster Diffraction of both regular and irregular waves by a concrete gravity substructure (CGS) was investigated using experimental surface elevation data and computational results of the linear diffraction code DELFRAC . The influence...

...Subrata K. Chakrabarti; Mark McBride A suspension bridge is being built over the Tacoma Narrows, Washington. The bridge will be placed on a structure mounted on two large concrete caissons, which will be exposed to strong currents. The piers are of rectangular section with chamfered edges...

...Subrata K. Chakrabarti; Mark McBride A new suspension bridge is being built over the Tacoma Narrows, Washington. The bridge will be placed on a structure mounted on two large concrete caissons. The caissons are being constructed in a floating position by pouring concrete at site. During...

... with a re-float decommissioning option for a concrete offshore platform. It is shown how the sensitivity may be evaluated on the basis of the BPNs, thus providing a valuable framework to first improve the risk model in terms of the representation of important scenarios, then for deciding where to apply...

... the response of a stochastic deterioration model and to merge with a time-dependent reliability analysis. Examples relating to the long-term chloride corrosion in a reinforced concrete slab are presented in the paper. Partial funding from the NSERC Research Grant program in Canada is acknowledged...
