Predicting and Preventing Sediment Scour at Seafloor Facilities
This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. The primary defense against foundation failure from sediment erosion at ocean facilities is to realize that scour can be severe and plan accordingly. One way of guarding against structural instability when designing piling is to estimate and allow for overburden removal by scouring. When this is not possible, an inverted soil filter may be used to prevent sediment erosion. Criteria for correctly sizing the inverted filter and protective rock to prevent sediment migration up through the filter are straightforward. In situations where short term protection is required or where soil filter material availability is low, geotextiles (filter fabrics) may be used. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Mike Atturio, Code L42, Naval Civil Engineering Lab., Port Hueneme, CA 93043; (805) 982-5780.
