Essentials of Offshore Structures (eBook, PDF)

Framed and Gravity Platforms

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Compiled by leading experts, this text details the new and longstanding methods used for analyzing offshore structures. It details the latest procedures for computing wind, wave, current, tide, and seismic effects. With an emphasis on risk-based analysis, the authors consider construction style and materials choices as well as environmental factors, especially seabed soils. Covering theory and applications, this text provides more than 200 illustrations and includes practical problems with worked solutions at the end of each chapter.
