Abstract
This paper presents some results of geological construction characteristics by depth of the Southwest Cay Island’s coral foundation, the Spratlys Islands, and the interaction between pipe and coral foundation under the effect of load of shockwave bombs. The problem of interaction between the pipes and coral foundation is resolved on the basis of finite element method and Matlab programming. The results could contribute to research on calculating, designing and constructing projects on the island to serve for defense of the country and livelihoods on the island.
