Centrifuge Modelling of Artificial Sand Islands in Earthquakes
Increasingly over the past decade, artificial islands have been constructed for various purposes, most having been constructed in less than 13 m of water with relatively unprotected slopes and with short design lives. However, as oil and gas exploration and production and as port expansion move to deeper waters and the need for more secure and economical designs for such islands develops, more complex forms of island construction have evolved, such as the use of sand-filled caissons on submarine berms. Where artificial sand islands are constructed in seismically active regions, the behaviour of these soil structures in earthquakes has to be considered. Little quantitative data is currently available on the response of artificial islands to earthquakes, one of the better known sets of data being the pore pressure and acceleration records collected from Owi Island.
