Offshore Structural Engineering

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 present and there are failure modes that must be identified. This book aids readers with innovative and reliable structural design. It presents in-depth coverage of risk analysis and assessment, and addresses the uncertainties of structures using statistical analyses and considering stochastic processes.
