PROGRESS IN MARINE GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

This paper highlights the progress during the past 30 yrs in several subareas of marine geotechnical engineering, which includes pipelines, small footing structures such as jack-up rigs, gravity structures, piles, object penetration and breakout resistance, seafloor stability, and geotechnical data acquisition. The progress is illustrated using a number of significant events subsequent to World War II, such as hurricanes, planning for projects in new geographic areas, installation of specific structures, and initiation of major research.
