As a consequence offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a speciality. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe structure of \u003cstrong\u003eOffshore Geotechnical Engineering\u003c\/strong\u003e follows a pattern that mimics the flow of a typical offshore project. In the early chapters it provides a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques and interpretation of soil behaviour. It proceeds to cover geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations and anchoring systems. Three topics are then covered which require a more multi-disciplinary approach: the design of mobile drilling rigs, pipelines and geohazards. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book serves as a framework for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and will appeal to professional engineers specialising in the offshore industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark Randolph\u003c\/strong\u003e is the founding Director of the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems at the University of Western Australia, a founding Director of the specialist consultancy, Advanced Geomechanics, and a former Rankine Lecturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSusan Gourvenec\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor at the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems at the University of Western Australia and delivers undergraduate, postgraduate, and industry courses on offshore geomechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 560\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.14 x 9.69 x 6.85 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 16, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751317897504,"sku":"9781138074729","price":171.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5fbdf35098137a5747c572051e553a74.webp?v=1779970550","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/offshore-geotechnical-engineering-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
