Numerical Analysis of FFP Impact on Saturated Loose Sand
… is an easy and rapid test procedure for seabed sediment characterization favorable to conventional geotechnical testing mainly due to its cost-effectiveness. Yet, FFP testing results are interpreted using empirical correlations, but difficulties arise to understand soil behavior under the …

Probabilistic Characterization of Sediments Using a Combined Geotechnical and Geophysical Approach
Reliable characterization of seabed surface sediments is critical for offshore engineering, naval applications, and understanding coastal sediment dynamics. Traditional geotechnical methods provide accurate point measurements but lack spatial continuity, while geophysical surveys offer broad …

Geotechnical Investigation and Characterization of Bivalve-Sediment Interactions
… to reduce erosion potential. Shell hash-laden sediments should be able to better withstand shearing, thereby increasing the critical shear stress required to erode material, compared to sediment without shell hash. Habitat suitability for bivalve colonies is also an important consideration to …
