This assembled volume was compiled from papers presented at past DFI Marine Foundations Specialty Seminars and other relevant papers on deep marine foundations for easy reference for designers, constructors, and suppliers to our industry. Hopefully this volume will assist designers and contractors in optimizing the efficiency of their deep marine foundations. The book contains 40 papers covering a wide range of relevant technical issues relating to the design and construction of deep marine foundations including case histories on major bridges, innovative concepts for temporary cofferdams, design and placement of tremie concrete, design and installation of driven piles and drilled shafts for marine structures, deep marine foundations for offshore wind turbines, plus other miscellaneous topics dealing with deep marine foundations including: dredging, underwater geophysical investigation methods, driven-pile sound attenuation methods, ship-impact protection systems for bridges, corrosion of marine tiebacks, and underwater compaction using vibration.
