Abstract
Wavelength and wave damping of water waves propagating over soft clay beds are measured in a soil-wave tank. Mudline motion and wave-induced mass transport in the clay beds are also measured. It is confirmed experimentally that the wave dispersion is uniquely governed by the mudline motion. Mass transport develops in a clay bed when shear strain amplitude exceeds the limit shear strain of about 5%. The rate of wave-induced mass transport in a clay bed is found to be proportional to the rate of wave energy dissipation in the clay bed. This paper presents a complete report of the measurements and data.
