Reliability analysis of offshore structures within a time varyingn environment

摘要

The analysis and design of offshore structures necessitates the consideration of environmental loads. Realistic modeling of the environmental loads is particularly important to ensure reliable performance of these structures. In this paper, structural reliability analysis of offshore structures subjected to a time varying environment is investigated. In this work, an extreme value statistical model for the wave height is adopted as a basis for the performance assessment of a jacket structure. Du
