Compiled by leading experts, this text details the new and longstanding methods used for analyzing offshore structures. It details the latest procedures for computing wind, wave, current, tide, and seismic effects. With an emphasis on risk-based analysis, the authors consider construction style and materials choices as well as environmental factors, especially seabed soils. Covering both theory and applications, this text provides more than 200 illustrations and includes practical problems with worked solutions at the end of each chapter.

Reviews for Essentials of Offshore Structures: Framed and Gravity Platforms

"""The authors are extremely well known in this subject and have produced an excellent book suitable for students and graduates working in the field of Offshore Structure Design. Chapters 2 and 6 are particularly interesting in the insight they give to the Ocean Environment and Environmental Loading. The book is thoroughly recommended."" ––Professor William Dover, Emeritus Shell Professor, UCL, UK ""The authors are extremely well known in this subject and have produced an excellent book suitable for students and graduates working in the field of Offshore Structure Design.
