Abstract

In this chapter, a series of analytical solutions for the short-crested wave-induced soil response, including pore pressure, effective stresses and soil displacements, were presented. The porous seabed was treated as infinite thickness, finite thickness and multi-layered medium. The reduced two-dimensional forms of the proposed mathematical solutions were verified with previous experimental data, other analytical solutions and numerical models. A new combined wave obliquity and hydraulically anisotropic parameter was obtained from the closed-form analytical solution. The effects of wave obliquity, wave and seabed characteristics on the soil response were discussed in detail. The proposed analytical solution provide practical engineers an effective tool as the first approximation for the evaluation of the wave-induced soil response in the field.
