Download or read book Ageing and Life Extension of Offshore Structures written by Gerhard Ersdal and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of managing and assessing safety and functionality of ageing offshore structures and pipelines A significant proportion, estimated at over 50%, of the worldwide infrastructure of offshore structures and pipelines is in a life extension phase and is vulnerable to ageing processes. This book captures the central elements of the management of ageing offshore structures and pipelines in the life extension phase. The book gives an overview of: the relevant ageing processes and hazards; how ageing processes are managed through the life cycle, including an overview of structural integrity management; how an engineer should go about assessing a structure that is to be operated beyond its original design life, and how ageing can be mitigated for safe and effective continued operation. Key Features: Provides an understanding of ageing processes and how these can be mitigated. Applies engineering methods to ensure that existing structures can be operated longer rather than decommissioned unduly prematurely. Helps engineers performing these tasks in both evaluating the existing structures and maintaining ageing structures in a safe manner. The book gives an updated summary of current practice and research on the topic of the management of ageing structures and pipelines in the life extension phase but also meets the needs of structural engineering students and practicing offshore and structural engineers in oil & gas and engineering companies. In addition, it should be of value to regulators of the offshore industry.

Download or read book Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures written by John V. Sharp and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UNDERWATER INSPECTION AND REPAIR FOR OFFSHORE STRUCTURES Benefit from a much-needed, up-to-date handbook on underwater inspection and repair processes and technologies Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures fills a gap in the literature to provide an overview of the inspection and repair processes for both steel and concrete offshore structures. Authors and noted experts on the topic John V. Sharp and Gerhard Esdal guide readers through the reasons why inspection and repair are performed and how both are linked to the management of structural integrity, statutory requirements, and various types of damage. The book addresses critical topics, including the execution and planning of inspection and repair, the tools and methods used, and their deployment underwater. The authors put particular focus on steel and concrete offshore oil and gas installations, but the content is also applicable to the substructures of offshore wind turbines. Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures is complementary to the authors’ book Ageing and Life Extension of Offshore Structures, also from Wiley. This important book: Covers current inspection and monitoring techniques to evaluate existing structures Includes coverage of robotic (ROV) inspection and repair methods Provides an overview of repair and maintenance techniques applicable to the splash‐zone and underwater operations Written for engineers, designers, and safety auditors working with offshore structures. Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures is a comprehensive resource for understanding how to effectively inspect and repair these vulnerable structures.

Download or read book Explosion Resistant Buildings written by M. Y. H. Bangash and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-16 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellent book highlights all aspects of the analysis and design of buildings subject to impact, explosion and fire. It is a definitive reference book and contains 10 chapters from a wide international prospective. Three-dimensional finite element and discrete element techniques are included. They are applied to buildings such as the World Trade Center (WTC Twin Towers) and the Federal Building in Oklahoma on the basis of the designers drawings, data and other information. Many small case studies are also included. The book has a comprehensive bibliography and a large appendix providing background analysis and computer subroutines of recently developed programs.
Download or read book Structural Failure written by Tomasz Wierzbicki and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1989-04-06 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural Failure, Edited by Tomasz Wierzbicki and Norman Jones The decline of our urban infrastructure is, perhaps more than ever, a cause of national concern. And this in-depth look describes the confluence of factors that make structural failure inevitable-as well as avoidable. The failure process is viewed as a three-tiered phenomenon: micro, or material, level failure; through-thickness failure; and global structural failure. Leading experts examine the interactive processes that underlie structural failure, covering such specifics as fracturing, fragmentation, tearing of thin metal sheets, impact loading, failure of brittle material, collapse of thin-walled structures, bending and denting failure, as well as a variety of additional loading conditions, both static and dynamic. Critical to safety-enhanced product development in mechanical design, aerospace structures, building structures, and product packaging, this important reference catalogs for design engineers the measures and means for predicting, resisting, and controlling structural failure.
