Offshore platforms have become increasingly important to the oil and gas industry. As part of normal operating activities they are repeatedly visited by heavy vessels. This makes the rig vulnerable to collisions from these vessels. Estimating the possible ship collision damage is important in the safety and integrity assessment of a platform and also for its repair and maintenance. This book deals with the structural behaviour of tubular members of offshore structures subjected to ship collision. It covers both quasi-static and dynamic impact loadings and considers different approaches such...
