Subsea Foundations Reference

[kat6787]

I am looking for a good reference book for shallow foundation design, but I want to make sure it has applicable information for subsea foundations. Any recommendations?

Cheers,
Kat

kat6787,

Offhand, I'd say to try the publicly available USACE design guidance (

http://www.usace.army.mil/publications/

) or UFC publications (

http://www.hnd.usace.army.mil/techinfo/engpubs.htm

) (all US military). Other than that, the offshore oil platform industry probably has some useful information.

Thanks for links. I found a few foundation and soil related manuals that have helped.

Cheers,

The other references I would check are the proceedings from the Offshore Technical Conferences that are/were nearly a yearly event. These conferences almost exclusively refer to offshore structures and you should be able to get excellent guidance as I am sure your situation is not different much from the many you will find in these Proceedings.
