Design of Offshore Facilities Against Fire And Blast Loading

This book is aimed at all engineers and architects involved in the design of building structures, and should enable them to have a better understanding of their own and their client's responsibilities in providing buildings which, in the event of an explosion, minimize damage to people and property.

This book. This book primarily introduces the dynamic analysis of typical offshore wind turbines foundations in soft clays under marine environmental loads. The dynamic behaviors and bearing performance of offshore wind turbines foundations will be interesting to students and researchers in offshore geotechnical engineering. This book systematically elaborates on numerical analysis methods and dynamic response laws of offshore wind turbine foundations using the calculation flowchart, numerical model diagram, and displacement vector diagram, etc. It can guide readers to apply numerical methods to explore dynamic behavior of offshore foundations, and address the challenges in the design of offshore wind turbine foundation.

This book introduces readers to various types of offshore platform geometries. It addresses the various environmental loads encountered by these structures, and provides detailed descriptions of the fundamentals of structural dynamics in a classroom style, helping readers estimate damping in offshore structures and grasp these aspects’ applications in preliminary analysis and design.
