Submarine Slope Stability Forecasting and Back Analyses in Deep Water

摘要

Deep water presents special problems in determining shear strengths, stratigraphy and bathymetry. Slope stability analyses can be used to back-calculate shear strengths, however, there is a greater uncertainty than on dry land because there is greater uncertainty in the bathymetry. The purpose of this thesis is to determine uncertainty in submarine slope stability and back-calculated shear strengths in deep water.
