Large scale pore pressure data under wave-induced loading

Abstract: The design of resilient offshore structures requires knowledge of the prevailing seabed dynamics under wave-induced loading. In particular, seabed liquefaction as one of the most severe forms of seabed dynamics must be understood to prevent structural failure. Progressing towards such knowledge and insights, this dataset comprises the data of a unique large scale experimental test campaign of the wave-soil interaction and seabed liquefaction in the large wave-current flume, GWK+, at the Coastal Research Centre, Hannover, Germany. For the study, a 1 m x 6 m x 5m (depth x length x width) soil pit has been set up in the flume, filled with fine sand with of D50=0.066 mm, and exposed to waves of varying wave heights. This particular dataset includes measurements of the surface elevation measured with four wire-gauge in-house wave-gauges and 16 pore pressure transducers.
