Summary:

This book by Alexander Arnfinn Olsen provides a comprehensive overview of accidental load analysis and design for offshore structures. It emphasizes the use of risk-based methodologies over traditional prescriptive criteria to assess structural loads arising from accidental events, such as dropped objects, vessel collisions, fire, and blast hazards. The book aims to guide professionals in the field of ocean systems engineering through the process of identifying and evaluating these hazards, offering insights into existing standards and risk assessment techniques. It is intended for engineers, designers, and researchers involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of marine vessels and offshore installations. Generated by AI.
