* Each chapter is written by one or more invited world-renowned experts * Information provided in handy reference tables and design charts * Numerous examples demonstrate how the theory outlined in the book is applied in the design of structures Tremendous strides have been made in the last decades in the advancement of offshore exploration and production of minerals. This book fills the need for a practical reference work for the state-of-the-art in offshore engineering. All the basic background material and its application in offshore engineering is covered. Particular emphasis is placed in the application of the theory to practical problems. It includes the practical aspects of the offshore structures with handy design guides, simple description of the various components of the offshore engineering and their functions. The primary purpose of the book is to provide the important practical aspects of offshore engineering without going into the nitty-gritty of the actual detailed design. Provides all the important practical aspects of ocean engineering without going into the nitty-gritty' of actual design details Simple to use - with handy design guides, references tables and charts Numerous examples demonstrate how theory is applied in the design of structures 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aOffshore structures 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aChakrabarti, Subrata Kumar 776 1 $cOriginal$z0080443818$z9780080443812$z0080445683$z9780080445687$z0080445691$z9780080445694$w(OCoLC)60959849 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780080443812$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 907 $a.b13652515$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003231959707536 996 $aHandbook of offshore engineering$91213384 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
