Abstract:
Soils are multiphase materials comprised of mineral grains, air voids and water. Soils are not linearly elastic
or perfectly plastic for external loading. Various constitutive models are available to describe the various aspects of soil
behaviour. But no single soil model can completely describe the behaviour of real soil under all conditions. This paper
attempts to compare various soil models and suggest a suitable model for the Soil Structure Interaction analysis especially
for Kochi marine clay.

Abstract:
The paper identifies twelve elements of ship recycling and highlights their respective roles and duties in a proposed ship
recycling system. The source and items of knowledgebase for ship recycling have been brought out. A new philosophy focusing clean
and safe ship recycling namely design for ship recycling has been introduced based on principles such as ecofriendliness, engineering
efficiency, energy conservation and ergonomics. The role of naval architects in ship recycling industry has been described based on the
above factors. The paper brings out the role of naval architects in ship recycling the way it has been practiced worldwide and proposed
by regulatory bodies. The authors have brought out the new concept of design for ship recycling and various aspects of it. The role of
naval architects in the practice of this new design philosophy which is ready to be embraced by the maritime industry has been
reiterated.
