| Description |
A 1 ½ day forum on Risk Assessment for Submarine Slope
Stability with special emphasis on deepwater was organized and conducted
with participation from government, academia and industry. In addition,
extensive research and compilation of data from literature was conducted to develop a database on submarine slope failures. Because the
information required to perform a complete risk assessment was limited, the
objective was to develop a database to provide information that can be used
to supplement site-specific data for making risk assessments of sea floor
stability. |
| Progress |
A workshop on Risk Assessment of
Submarine Slope Stability in Deepwater has been completed and a final report
has been issued. A paper summarizing the findings of the workshop was
prepared and presented at the 2002 DOT conference in New Orleans in
November, 2003. The project has been
completed. |
