Seminal text on offshore geotechnical engineering, and #1 best seller on Amazon in its category when initially published and with sustained readership and relevance 15 years after its publication. The book's structure follows a familiar pattern that mimics the flow of a typical offshore project. In the early chapters, it provides a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques, and interpretation of soil behaviour. It proceeds to cover geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations and anchoring systems. Three topics are then covered that require a more multi-disciplinary approach: design of jackups, pipelines and geohazards.

Offshore Geotechnical Engineering serves as a framework for undergraduate and postgraduate courses and appeals to professional engineers specialising in the offshore industry.
