... and compiled to add depth; however, the end result is a more detailed understanding of precise objects or structures. Typically, these types of underwater models are used within benthic seafloor mapping, dam/bridge/tunnel inspections, surveying canals and channels, or assessing offshore energy structures...

... draft based on the original T&R Bulletin 5-4 (1988) has been edited with comments from both the OC-8 SNAME committee and outside experts (including wind tunnel facilities) several times in the past three years. The overview of the guidelines presents the requirements for a successful test...

..., which encompassed three available wind load estimation methods: empirical building block procedures, wind tunnel testing, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). To permit an ‘apples-to-apples’ comparison, the same representative semisubmersible design was used by all participants, including a single...

... of Los Angeles County (LACSD) are evaluating the feasibility of a new tunnel and ocean outfall offshore the Port of Los Angeles, California. This project serves as a case study on the essential role of the GIS database in storing and analyzing various types of data, allowing integrated marine geohazard...

... by creating optimized perforation tunnels. To better understand and quantify differences in penetration and flow performance between reactive shaped charges and conventional shaped charges, we designed a test matrix that takes into account various environments, such as gas in low permeability rock and oil...

... ABSTRACT Subsea approaches to the Norwegian coast are characterised by very rugged topography. Landfall of offshore pipelines therefore often require dedicated subsea tunnel and pipeline tie-in concepts. To land the 36" and 40" offshore pipe[intw associated with the Troll Phase I development...

... ABSTRACT Construction is currently underway on a bridge-tunnel across Tokyo Bay, Japan. The tunnel segment contains a concrete structure "island" of approx/mate/y 175 m (377 ft) diameter, located in 28 m (92 ft) water depth, for ventilation and access to the tunnel during construction. Due...

... Abstract Gas from the North Sea is processed at Karsw, Western Norway, before it isexported to the European Continent. The pipelines are placed in a 600 metresconcrete tunnel, consisting of 5 bridge elements, at the shore approach. Cracks developed in the foundations and the elements shortly...

... ABSTRACT The design and construction planning of deepwater tunneled ocean outfalls involves both underground and offshore engineering. In particular, the demands placed on the outfall seabed riser structures requires consideration of many of the engineering disciplines associated...

... ABSTRACT The Oseberg Transportation System includes a crude oil pipeline placed in water depths up to 357m, connecting the Oseberg Field in the North Sea with a storage terminal in Norway. In the eastern slope of the Norwegian Trench, gravel sleepers were placed and a shore approach tunnel...

... ABSTRACT The Water Board of Sydney, Australia has begun the construction of three submarine ocean out falls to handle the sewage disposal needs of the area for the next 100 years. The outfalls consist of three separate underground tunnels, extending up to 3.1 miles (5 km) offshore which...

... ABSTRACT The paper describes a preliminary wind-tunnel investigation of the below-deck aerodynamic climate of a TLP. The general features of multi-cylinder flow are discussed. The technique of pulsed l a s e r velocimetry is described and examples of its application to a 1:300 model platform...

... tests was completed. Five different spherical indenters were used resulting in a wide range of maximum indenter contact area (0.02-3.0 square meters) A total of twenty-one such tests were performed in tunnels excavated into a grounded iceberg near Pond Inlet on Baffin Island.
