Measurements of Wave-induced Pore Pressure and Coefficients of Permeability of Submarine Sediments during Reversing Flow

  • Conference paper
Seabed Mechanics

Abstract

Wave-induced pore pressure was measured at a location on the Pacific coast of central Japan with two types of probe. Analysis revealed that the damping of wave-induced pore pressure with respect to the wave pressure at the seafloor was greater than that predicted by published theories, even at shallow depths proximate to the mudline.
