Abstract
The evaluation of wave-induced pore pressure and effective stresses is an important factor in the design of offshore installations. However, to simplify a complicated problem, most previous investigations have ignored the effects of inertia forces. This paper presents a new semi-analytical solution to the equations governing the wave-induced seabed response, including inertia terms for the whole problem. The numerical results show that the inertia forces cannot always be ignored. The relative difference between the present solution (with inertia items) and the previous solution (without inertia items) may reach 17% of po under certain combinations of wave and soil conditions. Key words: inertia force, pore pressure, effective stresses.
