Selection of Practical Seafloor Foundation Systems
1972
Herrmann, H. G. | Raecke, D. A. | Albertsen, N. D.
The report presents a systematic analysis of foundation systems for seafloor installations. Current and foreseeable Navy needs for seafloor installations are summarized, and the foundation requirements for such installations are defined in terms of four foundation requirement parameters. Environmental conditions and technological capabilities, major influences in the process of selecting a foundation system, are defined in terms of design constraints. These include seafloor type, which ranges from weak and compressible cohesive soil to sound rock; maximum topographic slope, which ranges from less than 1 degree to 20 degrees; and required emplacement capability, which can range from simply setting a single module on the seafloor to in-situ assembly or fabrication of a multimodule installation.
