STATE OF THE ART: ANALYTICAL METHODS OF SUBMARINE SLOPE STABILITY

The differences between the submarine slope stability problems and those on land are pointed out first, and the marine slope stability analysis is then described in detail with respect to geometry and loading. Since the wave effect is the most important feature of the submarine slope, different methods for calculating the wave induced bottom pressures as well as the cyclic response of the seabed, including both transient and residual pore pressures, are reviewed. Three different methods for stability analys...
