Abstract: A decision-theoretic approach to the problem of optimizing strategies for the protection of submarine pipelines against ice scour is presented. The model simultaneously considers twinning, deep ...

Abstract: An analysis of the impact of model uncertainties on the design factors for environmental loads on offshore structures was carried out. Considering uncertainties in environmental processes, the ...

Abstract: A methodology for assessing the effect of different sources of uncertainty on the calculation of load effect on offshore structures is presented. A consistent classification of uncertainties was ...

Abstract: The flow properties of crushed ice under plane-strain conditions are examined. The analysis is based on a set laboratory experiments. The geometric configuration provided a wide range of pressures ...

Abstract: Extensive work in recent years has been carried out on the calculation of global ice loads on a probabilistic basis. An analysis method is presented for local ice pressures, which yields ...
