... are collected in 2D lines and/or 3D volumes. Geophysical data therefore provides the natural link to re-populate geotechnical properties found in the 1D boreholes onto a larger area and thereby build a consistent and robust ground model. The geophysical data can be used to estimate geotechnical data...

... Abstract Very little work has been done concerning the natural gamma and the neutron tools of near surface marine sediments and their practice in geotechnics. This paper focuses on the application of natural gamma radiation and the neutron absorption for predicting geotechnical properties...

... to force dissociation of surface and near-surface gas hydrates. Surface sediments associated with areas characterized by exposures of gas hydrate have extremely variable geotechnical properties. Much of this variability relates to shell content and products of early diagenesis. Introduction At present...

... reasonable limits for the predicted range in soil conditions. Seismic data define the three-dimensional relationships among soil units and provide a framework for relating soil borings to one another. The soil borings 'calibrate' the model by defining soil stratigraphy and geotechnical properties at key...

... with iceberg scouring as a 1ocal phenomenon and its relation to the sea floor topography, sediment distribution, and geological and geotechnical properties of the sediments. INTRODUCTION Iceberg scouring on the European side of the Atlantic Ocean was first reported in 1973 (2, 3). The investigations...

... geological frame work. The main features encountered in this area are: erosion scarps, island-type relict features, prograding sedimentation and broad variations in stratigraphy geotechnical properties of the soils. The western part is geologically more uniform and has been sub-divided into various zones...

... ABSTRACT Engineers working in high latitude offshore regions must deal with the geotechnical properties of sediments deposited in the glacial-marine environment. Descriptions of sediment textures and facies distributions from the Antarctic continental margin and the Puget Lowlands are used...

... responsible for the high degree of under consolidation displayed by the majority of sediments tested. It was also determined that sub aqueous deformational processes may affect the consolidation characteristics and related geotechnical properties to depths in excess of 30 meters sub bottom. INTRODUCTION...

... are the predominant sediment types. In addition, one set of predictor equations is given for the variable types of sediment located in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands. INTRODUCTION This is the third paper in a series reporting on the geotechnical properties of sediments in the region between Hawaii and Mexico...

... Abstract Near surface sea floor soils were obtained, with a sampler attached to the tracked underwater vehicle RUM, from eight regions off the coast of Southern California. The soils represented the continental shelf deposits as well as deep sea floor sediments. The geotechnical properties...
