Opis

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the identification and assessment of structural loads arising from accidental events in offshore structures. Through this book, readers will learn about risk-based assessment techniques that are essential for determining accidental loads, moving beyond traditional prescriptive criteria.

The chapters cover topics such as ship collision hazards, dropped object hazards, fire hazards, and blast hazards. The author, Alexander Arnfinn Olsen, presents an expert analysis of these critical issues through the lens of risk-based evaluations. Readers will discover methodologies to identify and assess the effects of accidental structural loads, making this book a must-read for those involved in offshore safety and certification.

This book is an invaluable resource for offshore engineers, marine architects, and safety management professionals. It serves as both a reference for academics and students in industrial design and engineering and a textbook for students of marine architecture. With its focus on classification aspects including design, construction, and maintainability, this guide is essential for anyone responsible for overseeing the design and construction of offshore platform assets.
