Marine Structural Design

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.
