Offshore Geotechnical Engineering Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last 30 years, driven partly by the scale of the foundation and anchoring elements used offshore and partly by fundamental differences in construction and installation techniques.
As a consequence, offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a speciality.
The book’s structure follows a familiar pattern that mimics the flow of a typical off-shore project.
In the early chapters, it provides a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques and interpretation of soil behaviour. It proceeds to cover geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations and anchoring systems.
Three topics are then covered that require a more multi-disciplinary approach: the design of mobile drilling rigs, pipelines and geohazards.
Offshore Geotechnical Engineering serves as a framework for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and will appeal to professional engineers specialising in the offshore industry. It is assumed that the reader will have some prior knowledge of the basics of soil mechanics and foundation design.
The book includes sufficient basic material to allow readers to build on this previous knowledge, but focuses on recent developments in analysis and design techniques in offshore geotechnical engineering.
This book is devoted to the modem theory for design and analysis of marine structures.
The term “marine structures” refers to ship and offshore structures.
The objective of this book is to summarize the latest developments of design codes, engineering practice and research into the form of a book, focusing on applications of finite element analysis and riskheliability methods.
Over the past twenty years there has been considerable improvement and new information in the design of port and berth structures.
Port Designer’s handbook reflects the lastest progress and developments in navigation safety, port planning and site selection, layout of container, oil and gas terminals, cargo handling, berth design and construction, fender and mooring principles.
It presents guidelines and recommendations for the main items and assumptions in the layout, desing and construction of modern port structures, and the forces and loadings acting on them.
This book provides an evaluation of different designs and construction methods for port and berth structures, and recommendations given by the different international harbour standards and recommendations.
Practising harbour and port engineers and students will find the handbook an invaluable source of information.
For courses that cover and/or include structural steel design using the ASD (Allowable Stress Design) method, such as Structures, Structural Analysis/Design, Design of Steel Structures, Building with Steel, Steel Construction and Steel Detailing in 2/4-year technology programs, architectural programs, and construction programs.
Written specifically for the engineering technology/technician level, this text offers a straightforward, elementary, noncalculus, practical problem-solving approach to the analysis, design, and detailing of structural steel members.
Using numerous example problems and a step-by-step solution format, it focuses on the classical and traditional ASD (Allowable Stress Design) method of structural steel design and introduces the LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) method (fast-becoming the method of choice for the future).
