Handbook Of Marine Geotechnical Engineering Sp-2209-Ocn [Hardcover]

With full color illustrations. From the introduction: Marine geotechnical engineering is the application of scientific knowledge and engineering techniques to the investigation of seafloor materials and the definition of the seafloor's physical properties. The responses of these seafloor materials to foundation and mooring elements, as well as other seafloor engineering related behaviors and processes, are addressed in this document. This Handbook for Marine Geotechnical Engineering brings together the more important aspects of seafloor behavior and Navy Ocean Engineering problems.
