An underwater stress-testing technique for the heavy-hammer tamping of a rubble-mound foundation

Rubble-mound foundations are commonly used in port-channel engineering and protection embankment. Heavy tamping is usually used to attain the required total compactness and bear capacity of such foundations. Monitoring and controlling the tamping-impact stresses is difficult because of the noncontin...
