Risk Assessment and Management for Ships and Offshore Structures helps engineers accurately analyze results and apply engineering principles to a vast range of oil and gas structures. Bridging theoretical-depth and practical application, this reference gives specific applications for risk assessment and integrity management for different ships and offshore structures, covering aspects of offshore production and drilling systems from the sea floor to the surface. Divided into different sections, and starting with a discussion of risk management background, the book then covers risk assessment for specific installations such as BOPs, marine production systems, subsea systems, deepwater production risers and pipelines. This book provides offshore petroleum engineers with both the theoretical principles and practical application skills needed to face today's offshore challenges and structures.
Marine Structural Design is a wide-ranging, practical guide to marine structural analysis and design, describing in detail the application of modern structural engineering principles to marine and offshore structures. Organized in five parts, the book covers basic structural design principles, strength, fatigue and fracture, reliability and risk assessment, providing all the knowledge needed for limit-state design and re-assessment of existing structures while assisting engineers in determining material and inspection requirements. Updates to this edition include: New chapters on structural
health monitoring and risk-based decision making. New sections on
arctic marine structural development. Addition of new LNG ship
topics, including composite materials and structures, uncertainty
analysis and green ship concepts. Provides the structural design principles, background theory and know-how needed for marine and offshore structural design by analysis. Covers strength, fatigue and fracture, reliability and risk assessment together in one resource, with the emphasis on practical considerations and applications. Updates to this edition include new chapters on structural health monitoring and risk-based decision making, and new content on arctic marine structural design. "
Updated edition of a best-selling title
The offshore industry continues to drive the oil and gas market into deeper drilling depths, more advanced subsea systems, and cross into multiple disciplines to further technology and equipment. Engineers and managers have learned that in order to keep up with the evolving market, they must have an all-inclusive solution reference. Subsea Engineering Handbook, Second Edition remains the go-to source for everything related to offshore oil and gas engineering. Enhanced with new information spanning control systems, equipment QRA, electric tree structures, and manifold designs, this reference is still the one product engineers rely on to understand all components of subsea technology. Packed with new chapters on subsea processing and boosting equipment as well as coverage on newer valves and actuators, this handbook explains subsea challenges and discussions in a well-organized manner for both new and veteran engineers to utilize throughout their careers. Subsea Engineering Handbook, Second Edition remains the critical road map to understand all subsea equipment and technology.
As deepwater wells are drilled to greater depths, pipeline
engineers and designers are confronted with new problems such as
water depth, weather conditions, ocean currents, equipment
reliability, and well accessibility. "Subsea Pipeline Design,
Analysis and Installation" is based on the authors' 30 years of
experience in offshore. The authors provide rigorous coverage of
the entire spectrum of subjects in the discipline, from pipe
installation and routing selection and planning to design,
construction, and installation of pipelines in some of the harshest
underwater environments around the world. All-inclusive, this
must-have handbook covers the latest breakthroughs in subjects such
as corrosion prevention, pipeline inspection, and welding, while
offering an easy-to-understand guide to new design codes currently
followed in the United States, United Kingdom, Norway, and other
countries.
It is widely acknowledged that there is an increasing problem in maintenance of the American civil infrastructure. Highways, bridges, sewers, railroads, harbours, and public buildings built in the 1950s and 1960s are wearing out, while inflation-adjusted federal spending on infrastructure has fallen. The current situation, with respect to highway bridge maintenance, is in fact so severe that many states cannot afford to attend in need of replacement, so they are focusing only on the most severe cases. Recently, rapid assessment, repair, and replacement of damaged highway bridge after extreme events have been given close attention to by government agencies, engineering and construction communities, and the general public. This book presents the complicated undertaking of highway bridge replacement in an easy-to-read format.

Chinese contractors are increasingly playing a significant role in the global construction market. This book presents a comprehensive study of the global expansion of Chinese construction companies as a result of Chinese open-door policies, by describing their developments from 1950 to 2008, highlighting their achievements, and identifying the main constraints preventing them from playing a more effective and efficient role in the global construction market. The development of Chinese construction companies in the global market was divided into three periods: the first period from 1950 to 1978, the second period from 1979 to 2001, and the third period from 2002 to 2008. In each period, the autonomy of Chinese construction companies, along with their achievements and problems were studied. Besides, the new business environment after accession to the World Trade Organization and the analyses on the top Chinese contractors using the data since 1979 were conducted. This book can help non-Chinese construction companies become more familiar with Chinese contractors and therefore be more competitive in the global construction market.
U.S. architectural, engineering and construction (AEe firms doing business in China are minimally successful because they are unfamiliar with the Chinese market. To assist the U.S. AEC firms to become more competitive in the Chinese market, a comprehensive investigation of the Chinese construction industry after the Culture Revolution was conducted. The development of the industry was divided into three stages: the first stage was from 1978 to 1992, the second stage was from 1992 to 2001, and the third stage was from 2001 to 2007. In each stage, the administrative framework, laws and regulations, procurement methods, and market structure were studied. In addition, statistical data, such as Gross Domestic Product, Gross Output Value, and the numbers of employees and companies during each stage, were analyzed. Next, economic indicators of the Chinese and U.S. construction industries were compared. Finally, the future growth trend of the Chinese construction industry was projected. The results of the investigation can help the U.S. AEC firms become more familiar with the Chinese construction market and be more competitive in this market.
Subsea repairs and inspection are costly for petroleum and pipeline engineers and proper training is needed to focus on ensuring system strength and integrity. "Subsea Pipeline Integrity and Risk Management" is the perfect companion for new engineers who need to be aware of the state-of-the-art techniques. This handbook offers a "hands-on" problem-solving approach to integrity management, leak detection, and reliability applications such as risk analysis. Wide-ranging and easy-to-use, the book is packed with data
tables, illustrations, and calculations, with a focus on pipeline
corrosion, flexible pipes, and subsea repair. Reliability-based
models also provide a decision making tool for day-to-day use.
"Subsea Pipeline Integrity and Risk Management" gives the engineer

conditions, ocean currents, equipment reliability, and well
accessibility, to name just a few. A definitive reference for
engineers designing, analyzing and instilling offshore structures,
Subsea Structural Engineering Handbook provides an expert guide to
the key processes, technologies and equipment that comprise
