Abstract The compaction effect of extra-long prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC) piles in deep soft soil foundation was studied by field test. pore water pressure gauge, inclinometer were embedded different plane positions or depths the to monitor and deformation when driving pile. research shows that magnitude excess caused single pile installation is mainly related buried depth measuring...

This report aims to characterise the prediction error of the different noise modelling algorithms used by the underwater noise prediction software “dBSea”. Two shallow water pile driving scenarios are presented, and the software’s prediction is matched against the measured real world data. The results of the comparison show that while you can get good results with a simple model based on spheri...

Human activities have changed the acoustic environment of many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems around the globe. Mounting evidence indicates that the resulting anthropogenic noise can impact the behaviour and physiology of at least some species in a range of taxa. However, the majority of experimental studies have considered only immediate responses to single, relatively short-term noise eve...
