Environmental Load Factors and System Strength Evaluation of Offshore Jacket Platforms

by Zafarullah Nizamani

Overview

This book presents a study for the determination of environmental load factors for Jacket Platforms in Malaysia and a methodology to determine the life extension of aging platforms. The simplified methods described here could be used for determining not only structural reliability but also safety factors. Its content is particularly interesting to design and maintenance engineers who are working in offshore or onshore industry.
