Offshore Structures: Design, Construction and Maintenance

摘要: With most of the easy gas and oil reserves discovered prices rebounding, companies are now drilling far offshore in extreme weather condition environments. As deep water wells drilled to greater depths, engineers designers confronted with new problems such as depth, conditions, ocean currents, equipment reliability, well accessibility. "Offshore Structure Design, Construction Maintenance" covers all types structures platforms employed worldwide. The ultimate reference for selecting, operating maintaining structures, this book provides a road map designing which will stand up even harshest selection proper type structure is discussed from technical economic point view. design procedure fixed be presented how review reach optimum solution. Non-linear analysis (Push over) technique assess existing structure. Pile tubular joint effect fatigue loading also theoretical practical hand, receive up-to-date methods performing structural life cycle analysis; implement maintenance plans topsides jackets, using non destructive testing.
