This report presents a procedure for the design of foundations 

 for small non-manrated and non-strategic seafloor installations. 

 These procedures are applicable only to installations with 

 dimensions less than 15 feet and submerged weight less than 4000 

 pounds. They do not require a detailed analysis of the prospective 

 site and are applicable to all seafloor sites, except those located 

 on slopes greater than 10 and those in areas of rapid sediment 

 accumulation, such as off mouths of large rivers. The report 

 includes analyses of vertical and lateral loading and load 

 resistance, tiedowns , use of materials, and foundation emplacement. 

 Several typical foundation types and special features are described. 

 Two example design problems are included to illustrate the design 

 procedures.
