The perfect guide for veteran structural
engineers or for engineers just entering the field of offshore design
and construction, Marine Structural Design Calculations offers
structural and geotechnical engineers a multitude of worked-out marine
structural construction and design calculations. Each calculation is
discussed in a concise, easy-to-understand manner that provides an
authoritative guide for selecting the right formula and solving even the
most difficult design calculation. Calculation methods for all
areas of marine structural design and construction are presented and
practical solutions are provided. Theories, principles, and practices
are summarized. The concentration focuses on formula selection and
problem solving. A “quick look up guide”, Marine Structural Design Calculations
includes both fps and SI units and is divided into categories such as
Project Management for Marine Structures; Marine Structures Loads and
Strength; Marine Structure Platform Design; and Geotechnical Data and
Pile Design. The calculations are based on industry code and standards
like American Society of Civil Engineers and American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, as well as institutions like the American
Petroleum Institute and the US Coast Guard. Case studies and worked
examples are included throughout the book. Calculations are
based on industry code and standards such as American Society of Civil
Engineers and American Society of Mechanical Engineers + Complete chapter on modeling using SACS software and PDMS software + Includes over 300 marine structural construction and design calculations + Worked-out examples and case studies are provided throughout the book + Includes a number of checklists, design schematics and data tables
