Analysis and Design of Marine Structures

'Analysis and Design of Marine Structures' explores recent developments in methods and modelling procedures for structural assessment of marine structures, and is a valuable reference source for academics, engineers and professionals involved in marine structures and design of ship and offshore structures.

From the Back Cover
This book is a collection of papers from MARSTRUCT 2009, the second International Conference on Marine Structures, held in Lisbon, Portugal, 16-18 March 2009, and contains the latest progress made in structural analysis of marine structures.

The MARSTRUCT series of conferences started in Glasgow, UK in 2007, and has the aim of becoming a bi-annual specialised conference dealing with Ship and Offshore Structures. The initial impetus and support for this series was given by the Network of Excellence on Marine Structures (MARSTRUCT), which brings together 33 European research groups and is now in its 6th year of funding by the European Union.

'Analysis and Design of Marine Structures' explores recent developments in methods and modelling procedures for structural assessment of marine structures:

- Methods and tools for establishing loads and load effects;

- Methods and tools for strength assessment;

- Materials and fabrication of structures;

- Methods and tools for structural design and optimisation;

- Structural reliability, safety and environment protection.

The book is a valuable reference source for academics, engineers and professionals involved in marine structures and design of ship and offshore structures.
