Due in part to a growing demand for offshore oil and gas exploration, the development of marine structures that initially started onshore is now moving into deeper offshore areas. Designers are discovering a need to revisit basic concepts as they anticipate the response behavior of marine structures to increased water depths. Providing a simplified approach to the subject, Advanced Marine Structures explains the fundamentals and advanced concepts of marine architecture introduces various types of offshore platforms, and outlines the different stages of marine structure...

The Advances in Earthquake Engineering series is intended primarily for the transformation of frontier technologies and research results and state-of-the-art professional practices. This volume comprehensively explores seismic design aids and nonlinear properties of RC elements in a form that is useful for practicing engineers and researchers to readily use without solving complex equations. With step-by-step numerical procedures and supplemental online material, the text clarifies the complexities involved in estimating basic input parameters required for nonlinear analysis of RC beam and...
