SEABEES AROUND THE WORLD

This paper reviews 35 years of usage of Seabees in both public and industrial applications in various countries since the system was first presented at Melbourne ACCOE in 1977. It includesa review of the theoretical arguments that show close similarities to the Hudson equation andexplain the boundary conditions that allow the concept and usage of Tapered Surcharge, to optimize the usage of material. Practical experience includes methods of manufacture and placement and the use of variable geometry both for mass optimization and deliberate roughness for the management of reflection, runup and overtopping.
