Due in part to a growing demand for offshore oil and gas exploration, the development of marine structures that initially started onshore is now moving into deeper offshore areas. Designers are discovering a need to revisit basic concepts as they anticipate the response behavior of marine structures to increased water depths. Providing a sim

Marine structures are a variety of engineering facilities, which are constructed and installed in the ocean for marine resource exploitation and continuous development. Marine vehicles, structures and facilities or systems are designed and produced to serve some specific purpose such as transporting cargo from one place to another, fighting wars, exploiting living and nonliving resources, harnessing energy from the sea, tourism and sports, support services for all such activities and facilities for such activities at the land and sea interface. Based on the purpose intended, vessels, structures and facilities at sea and on the coast vary in their functionality and design. Marine structures are necessary in order to exploit these possibilities. Since marine structures such as ships and offshore structures are massive, capital-intensive, and complicated structures placed in a special unfriendly environment, their design and development require research and skilled engineers. Advanced Marine Structures brings together the studies on the latest developments in research, design, fabrication and in-service experience relating to marine structures. The objective of this book is to summarize the latest developments of design codes, engineering practice and research into the form of a book, focusing on applications of finite element analysis and risk reliability methods. This book is intended to help engineers meet the growing worldwide demand for construction of new ports and the modernization of existing ports and terminals. It provides an authoritative guide to the design, construction, rehabilitation, repair, and maintenance of port and harbor structures. It emphasizes some of the challenges and trends associated with the future development of marine structures. Its main focus is on ways to improve the efficiency of energy-consuming ships, and on design challenges related to energy-producing offshore structures. This book also discusses the analysis tools that are most needed to enable sustainable designs for future ships and offshore structures. This book will serve as valuable information and guiding tool for marine structural engineers and naval architects, as well as mechanical engineers and researchers involved in the design and fabrication of marine structures.

This book, whose primary aim is to describe liquefaction processes and their implications for marine structures such as pipelines, sea outfalls, quay walls and caisson breakwaters, discusses the subject of soil liqeufaction in the marine environment.In addition, the physics of liquefaction (including examples illustrating the catastrophic consequences of soil liquefaction with regard to marine structures) are described, and the mathematical modelling of liqeufaction is treated in detail. Also, carefully selected numerical examples support the discussion of assessing liquefaction potential, and benchmark cases such as buried gas pipelines and their floatation, caisson breakwaters, cover stones and their interaction with liquefied soil along with counter measures are investigated.

The marine environment presents significant challenges for materials due to the potential for corrosion by salt water, extreme pressures when deeply submerged and high stresses arising from variable weather. Well-designed fibre-reinforced composites can perform effectively in the marine environment and are lightweight alternatives to metal components and more durable than wood. Marine Applications of Advanced Fibre-Reinforced Composites examines the technology, application and environmental considerations in choosing a fibre-reinforced composite system for use in marine structures. This book is divided into two parts. The chapters in Part One explore the manufacture, mechanical behavior and structural performance of marine composites, and also look at the testing of these composites and end of life environmental considerations. The chapters in Part Two then investigate the applications of marine composites, specifically for renewable energy devices, offshore oil and gas applications, rigging and sails. Underwater repair of marine composites is also reviewed. Comprehensively examines all aspects of fibre-reinforced marine composites, including the latest advances in design, manufacturing methods and performance Assesses the environmental impacts of using fibre-reinforced composites in marine environments, including end of life considerations Reviews advanced fibre-reinforced composites for renewable energy devices, rigging, sail textiles, sail shape optimisation and offshore oil and gas applications
