... on the characteristics of the seabed on or in which the deposits occur, samples of seabed materials from the area of high cobalt manganese crust deposits in the Hawaiian EEZ were examined. The characteristics determined included, where appropriate, bathymetry, microtopography, and engineering properties of the deposit...

... to the laboratories of Geotechnical Engineers, Inc. of Winchester, Massachusetts. There, an extensive series of geotechnical engineering tests was carried out on the cores; these data are the basis of this report. Geotechnical engineering properties have traditionally been part of site specific studies...

... geologists in predicting regional sediment distribution patterns from seismic and borehole data. Engineering properties of common glacial marine sediment types are discussed along with engineering problems unique to glacial marine environments. INTRODUCTION A major portion of the earth's continental shelf...

... degrees of creep and stages of recrystallization. The main variables in carbonate sediments are Classified as mineral composition, origin, grain size and strength i.e. degree of in duration. The engineering properties are mainly affected by grain size and fast depositional changes, and differ...

... ABSTRACT Available published data on the engineering properties of seafloor soils in the central northeast Pacific Ocean are synthesized and utilized in an analysis of the interaction of a tracked nodule harvester or dredge head with the seafloor. Bearing capacity, compressibility...

... ABSTRACT Cemented marine soils exhibit behavior not found in comparable land soils and the evaluation of their engineering properties requires special procedures. This paper focuses on methods for evaluating the engineering properties of cemented deep-ocean soils using data from cores taken...

... ABSTRACT The engineering properties of high plasticity marine sediments in the Gulf of Paria were investigated for the design of a five mile long submarine pipeline and marine structure at the request of Texaco Trinidad, West Indies. The strength-depth relationships determined by using hand...

... of the sea floor. The effectiveness of certain anchorage systems depends upon the holding capacity of the sediments. Submarine slope stability and potential danger areas susceptible to mass movements such as slumping are related to the compatibility of the sea floor topography with the engineering properties...

... ABSTRACT The engineering properties of 25 samples recovered from 5 geomorphic and sedimentary environments of the Southern California continental Borderland are reported. Samples were taken using a box corer yielding a relatively undisturbed sample suitable for engineering tests from...
