Marine structures are constructed for different purposes. Recent advancements in
construction materials, innovative structural forms, and methods of modeling and
analysis make the understanding of the subject more broad-based. This book is an
attempt in the direction of explaining various stages of the analysis and design of
marine structures. The essential concepts of the subject are presented so as to be useful
for practicing engineers and graduate students in different engineering branches,
namely: civil, mechanical, structural, naval architecture, production, and marine.
With vast experience of teaching this subject and guiding research, a humble attempt
is made to present the basics in a closed form that will be useful for readers. Chapters
in the book are organized such that the reader gets an overall idea of various
types of marine structures constructed for offshore oil and gas exploration, various environmental
loads, ultimate load design, fluid–structure interaction, fatigue, and fracture.
Numerical examples and application problems are chosen to illustrate the use of
experimental, numerical, and analytical studies in the design and development of
marine structures. The basics of design, plastic analysis, and estimation of shear
center and shape factors will be useful for students because they are explained with
simple examples. This book is a repetitive effort in the direction of capacity building
for practicing and consulting offshore structural engineers who need to understand
the basic concepts of analysis and design of offshore structures through a simple and
straightforward approach.
