Safety Margin of Structural Member of Offshore StructuresSubjected to Wave and Current

摘要

The response of offshore structures subjected to wave and current isrngiven by the summation of the non-deterministic response to wavernforces including current effects and the static response to the steadyrncurrent force. Using the reliability index, this study highlights effects ofrncurrent on the safety margin of the structural member. The resultsrnsuggest that the non-deterministic response performs primary role inrnevaluating the safety margin.
