SF4013 Marine Geotechniques Syllabus:

SF4013 Marine Geotechniques Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES:

 Students mainly focused in understanding the physical and engineering properties of marine soil deposits and select suitable marine foundation as per project requirements.

UNIT I MARINE SOIL DEPOSITS

Marine environment, Physical and engineering properties of marine soils – Specific problems related to marine soil deposits.

UNIT III BEHAVIOR OF SOILS SUBJECTED TO REPEATED LOADING

Effect of wave loading on foundations of marine structures, Behavior of marine deposits under cyclic loading, Cyclic behavior of soils based on fundamental theory of mechanics, Approximate engineering methods

UNIT II SITE INVESTIGATION IN THE CASE OF MARINE SOIL DEPOSITS

Challenges of site investigation in marine environment, Different site investigation techniques, sampling techniques, Geophysical methods, Recent advancements in site investigation and sampling used for marine soil deposits.

UNIT IV FOUNDATIONS IN MARINE SOIL DEPOSITS

Different offshore and nearshore foundations, Gravity platforms, Jack-up rigs, pile foundations. cassions, spudcans.

UNIT V MARINE FOUNDATIONS SUBJECTED TO WAVE LOADING

Cyclic behavior of soils, empirical models, elastic-plastic models, FEM analysis of marine foundations subjected to wave loading.
