Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics (IS-FOG 2005), 19-21 Sept 2005, Perth, WA, Australia

by Susan Gourvenec (Editor), Mark Cassidy (Editor)

Overview

The present work contains 150 papers that were presented during ISEC-03, the 3rd International Conference on Structural and Construction Engineering, that was held in Tokuyama College of Technology, Shunan, Japan, from September 20 to 23, 2005. The theme of the conference was Collaboration and Harmony of Creative Systems. The conference was to encourage and assist the collaboration of any and all kinds of structural, system, and construction engineering using information technology in an environmentally friendly manner. This book contains these challenging papers.

About the Author

Dr Susan Gourvenec is a Lecturer at the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems (COFS) at the University of Western Australia. Dr Gourvenec joined COFS in 2001, where she works in the area of offshore shallow foundations with particular emphasis on the effect of combined loading. Her current research interests include the bearing and tensile capacity of skirted foundations under general loading and the pull-out capacity of suction caissons under inclined loads using numerical methods and geotechnical centrifuge modelling.

Dr Mark Cassidy is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems (COFS) at the University of Western Australia. His current research interests include the development of numerical models for shallow foundation behaviour, risk assessment and the optimisation of offshore foundation systems, fluid-structure-soil interaction and geotechnical centrifuge modelling.
