Abstract: In the reliability engineering and design of offshore structures, probabilistic approaches are frequently adopted. They require the estimation of extreme quantiles of oceanographic data based on the statistical information. ...

Abstract: The paper discusses a method for estimating extreme value statistics of the airgap for floating offshore platforms subjected to random seas. It is an adaptation of a recently developed method, which is based on the mean ...

Abstract: In this paper, the long-term extreme response of a vessel rolling in random beam seas and the associated reliability evaluation are addressed. The long-term response analysis is based on the upcrossing rates of the roll ...

Abstract: In principle, the reliability of complex structural systems can be accurately predicted by Monte Carlo simulation. This method has several attractive features for structural system reliability, the most important being ...
