Coupled Analysis of Wave, Structure, and Sloping Seabed Interaction: Response and Instability of Seabed
Instability of seabed due to wave action may cause serious damages to coastal infrastructure. The wave-induced instantaneous liquefaction near and around a structure, may impact the stability and capacity of foundation elements. The wave-seabed interaction has been mostly studied based on decoupled analysis for the flat or slightly sloping seabed (slope less than five degrees). However, some of marine structures, near shore may be built on (or anchored to) seabed with considerable slopes. In this paper, the response and instability of the sloping seabed supporting a marine structure and subjected to surface waves is evaluated. The scope included developing a numerical model using a fully coupled approach. Biot’s equations of the seabed in conjunction with governing equations for other domains (structure and fluid regions) are solved simultaneously using finite element method. The instability of seabed due to wave-induced instantaneous liquefaction around the marine structure is evaluated and the effect of slope on the extent of liquefied zone is examined. The results indicated that seabed response and the extent of liquefied zone near the structure are reduced with increasing steepness of seabed. The effect of various slope steepness and soil parameters on the extent of the liquefied zone is characterized and discussed.
