Advances in Offshore Geotechnics (eBook)

This book comprises select proceedings of the First Indian Symposium on Offshore Geotechnics. It addresses state of the art and emerging challenges in offshore design and construction. The theme papers from leading academicians and practitioners provide a comprehensive overview of the broad topics encompassing various challenges in offshore geotechnical engineering. It covers various aspects pertaining to offshore geotechnics, such as offshore site investigation, soil characterization, geotechnics related to offshore renewable energy converters, offshore foundations and anchoring systems, pipelines, and deep sea explorations. This volume provides a comprehensive reference for professionals and researchers in offshore, civil and maritime engineering and for soil mechanics specialists.

?Dr. Sumanta Haldar is currently an associate professor at IIT Bhubaneswar. He has over 15 years of research experience in the field of offshore geotechnics, soil-structure interaction and dynamics of soils and foundations. Dr. Haldar is working on offshore geotechnics, foundations for renewable energy devices and soil-structure interaction problem. During his doctoral research at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, he worked on static and dynamic soil structure interaction and risk-reliability based design of pile foundation. His current research aims at developing theoretical models of various geotechnical structures with a goal of producing more rational design solutions and considering reliability concepts.  The focus of his research is on the application of the fundamental principles of mechanics and mathematics in the experimental and computational aspects of geotechnical engineering.  He has more than 50 peer reviewed international and national journal and conference publications and book chapters.
