Due in part to a growing demand for offshore oil and gas
exploration, the development of marine structures that initially
started onshore is now moving into deeper offshore areas. Designers
are discovering a need to revisit basic concepts as they anticipate
the response behavior of marine structures to increased water
depths. Providing a simplified approach to the subject, Advanced
Marine Structures explains the fundamentals and advanced concepts
of marine architecture introduces various types of offshore
platforms, and outlines the different stages of marine structure
analysis and design. Written from a structural engineering
perspective, this book focuses on structures constructed for
offshore oil and gas exploration, various environmental loads,
ultimate load design, fluid-structure interaction, fatigue, and
fracture. It also offers detailed descriptions of different types
of structural forms, functions and limitations of offshore
platforms and explains how different loads act on each. In
addition, the text incorporates examples and application problems
to illustrate the use of experimental, numerical, and analytical
studies in the design and development of marine structures, and
reviews relevant literature on wave interaction and porous
cylinders. This book: Focuses on structural reliability Deliberates
on fracture and fatigue and examines their application in marine
structures Introduces ideas on the retrofit and renovation of
marine structures Examines the strength analysis of offshore
structures and structural members Advanced Marine Structures
examines the design of offshore structures from a structural
engineering perspective and explains the design methodologies and
guidelines needed for the progressive conceptualization and design
of advanced marine structures.
