A concrete coated steel gas pipeline is to be laid between two offshore platforms in 100 m water depth where the maximum environmental conditions include waves of 20 m wave height and 14 s period. The pipeline outside diameter is 46 cm, and the clay bottom slope is 1 on 100. Determine the submerged unit weight of the pipe. Assume linear wave theory is valid and that the bottom current is negligible.

For an earthquake of magnitude M=7.0 and depth 25 km, calculate the peak ground acceleration at a site 50 km from the epicentre using the attenuation relationships for Europe, Japan, and western North America (randomly- oriented horizontal components). The fault mechanism is normal and the seismic waves travel through a thick layer of rock (v=780 m/sec). Compare the results with the prediction of the world-wide attenuation relationship. Plot the curve of the above attenuation relationships for M=7 and comment on the plots.

Wave runup on sloping sandy beaches A section of the Shell Beach area, known for its beauty and turtle nesting, has a slope of 5.71 degrees. The unrefracted deepwater wave height in the area is 1.85 m. The water depth at the toe of the slope is 5.50 m. The wave period has been determined to be 4 seconds. Determine the runup on the beach face.
