Offshore Structural Engineering

<p>Successfully estimate risk and reliability and produce innovative yet reliable designs using the approaches outlined in <strong>Offshore Structural Engineering: Reliability and Risk Assessment</strong>. A hands-on guide for practicing professionals this book covers the reliability of offshore structures with an emphasis on the safety and reliability of offshore facilities during analysis design inspection and planning. </p><p>Since risk assessment and reliability estimates are often based on probability the author utilizes concepts of probability and statistical analysis to address the risks and uncertainties involved in design. He explains the concepts with clear illustrations and tutorials provides a chapter on probability theory and covers various stages of the process that include data collection analysis design and construction and commissioning. </p><p>In addition the author discusses advances in geometric structural forms for deep-water oil exploration the rational treatment of uncertainties in structural engineering and the safety and serviceability of civil engineering and other offshore structures.</p><p>An invaluable guide to innovative and reliable structural design this book:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Defines the structural reliability theory</li> <li>Explains the reliability analysis of structures</li> <li>Examines the reliability of offshore structures</li> <li>Describes the probabilistic distribution for important loading variables</li> <li>Includes methods of reliability analysis</li> <li>Addresses risk assessment and more</li> </ul><p><strong> <br><p>Offshore Structural Engineering: Reliability and Risk Assessment</p></strong> provides an in-depth analysis of risk analysis and assessment and highlights important aspects of offshore structural reliability.
