Structural reliability: Basics of structural reliability -- Random variables and uncertainty analysis -- Reliability of ship structures -- Reliability-based design and code calibration -- Fatigue reliability -- Probability and risk based inspection planning -- pt. 5. Risk assessment: Risk assessment methodology -- Risk assessment applied to offshore structures -- Formal safety assessment applied to shipping industry -- Economic risk assessment for field development -- Human reliability assessment -- Risk centered maintenanceThis new reference describes the applications of modern structural engineering to marine structures. It will provide an invaluable resource to practicing marine and offshore engineers working in oil and gas as well as those studying marine structural design. The coverage of fatigue and fracture criteria forms a basis for limit-state design and re-assessment of existing structures and assists with determining material and inspection requirements. Describing applications of risk assessment to marine and offshore industries, this is a practical and useful book to help engineers conduct structural design. *Presents modern structural design principles helping the engineer understand how to conduct structural design by analysis *Offers practical and usable theory for industrial applications of structural reliability theoryElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsOffshore structuresDesign and constructionNaval architectureElectronic books.localOriginal00804392179780080439211(DLC) 2004270210(OCoLC)52456869Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780080439211An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationTable of contentshttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/els051/2004270210.htmlPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els051/2004270210.html.b1365075003-03-2224-01-08991003220909707536Marine structural design1213510UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engne 00
