Seafloor Slope Stability under Adverse Conditions Using Energy Approach

Abstract:

The effects of ocean waves on the stability of seafloor slopes are of great importance in marine environment. The stability of a seafloor slope considering wave-induced pressure is analyzed using the kinematic approach of limit analysis combined with a strength reduction technique. A seafloor slope without waves is considered first. Furthermore, waved-induced pressure is considered to act on the surface of slope as an external load to analyze the effects on the stability of slope by waves. The results show that the adverse effect of waves on slope stability increases with an increase of the wave height as well as a decrease of the water depth.
