Abstract

Describes wave tank studies on the interaction between waves and sediment (e.g. on the sea bed). Pore water pressure transducers measured the hydrodynamic response slightly above the mudline and at different points within the deposit. A diaphragm type stress cell was used to measure total stress in the sand. Details hydrodynamic and soil parameters and describes data analysis prcedures. Results for pore water pressure and effective stress are presented and compared with predictions from a theory (Yamamoto) of sea bed instability. Discusses the discrepancies and considers bulk and shear modulus, horizontal and vertical effective stresses, and the effects of hydraulic anisotropy. (C.J.U.)
