Marine and Offshore Structures

Stakeholders’ lack of awareness, involvement and participation in the planning and management of water resources and flood risk often creates problems in the acceptance and implementation of proposed measures. Interactions among stakeholders and decision makers build awareness, trust, enhance cooper..

The design of offshore facilities must address various uncertainties involved in the different stages of development, including data collection, siting, construction, and commissioning. A detailed knowledge of the reliability of these structures using probabilistic tools is essential. Risk is always..

The aim of this book is to contribute to understanding risk knowledge and to forecasting components of early flood warning, particularly in the environment of tropical high mountains in developing cities. The research follows the modelling steps for flood forecasting development, addressing: flood h..
