Features: This book systematically elaborates on the theory, methods, and applications of safety assessment for offshore platform structures. Chapters 1 and 2 discuss the probabilistic models of random loads in marine environments and the analysis methods for ice-induced vibrations in offshore platform structures. Chapters 3 and 4 cover the analysis of cumulative damage and resistance degradation in offshore platform structures, as well as detection, maintenance, and repair techniques. Chapters 5–7 present the deterministic and reliability methods for safety assessment of offshore platform structures, along with detection, maintenance, and scrapping decision-making methods. Chapter 8 details the safety assessment and maintenance decision-making process for the Bohai No. 8 production platform. Chapter 9 introduces real-time safety monitoring methods and systems for offshore platform structures.
