Abstract

This report includes the following: (1) Influence of compressive strength and wall thickness on behavior of concrete cylindrical hulls under hydrostatic loading; (2) Influence of end-closure stiffness on behavior of concrete cylindrical hulls subjected to hydrostatic loading; (3) Influence of stiff equatorial rings on concrete spherical hulls subjected to hydrostatic loading; (4) Failure of thick-walled concrete spheres subjected to hydrostatic loading; (5) Behavior of 66-inch concrete spheres under short- and long-term hydrostatic loading; (6) Long-term deep-ocean test of concrete spherical structures-Part I: Fabrication, emplacement, and initial inspections; (7) Long- term, deep-ocean test of concrete spherical structures-results after 6 years; and (8) Handbook for design of undersea, pressure-resistant concrete structures.
