Reference calculation needed

Reference calculation needed

Reference calculation needed

(OP)
Can any body give me some reference which gives solved problems for calculating wave, current load, water slamming load and earthquake load on offshore structure or sub sea structure.

RE: Reference calculation needed

Try:

Dynamics of Fixed Marine Structures by Barltrop and Adams;

Applied Offshore Structural Engineering by Hsu;

Both are a fair age but still worth a look.

Alternatively, look at the different codes published by API, DNV, NORSOK.

RE: Reference calculation needed

Offhsore Structural Engineering by Dawson is another good one. No, it's a GREAT one. Wave loads can and are difficult to understand, though they really shouldn't be. they sure are, though, if all you have is Dean and Darlrymple's book and not enough experience with boundary value problems. It's just as bad with the USACE Shore Protection Manual. Why couldn't those books come with a lot of solved problems? Is that such a bad thing? Or at least come with a warning label on them...? Or why not charge double and include a bunch of solved problems?

Anyway, Dawson's book is written for engineering students and engineers who want to build things, rather than spend years tuning wave tanks just to learn what happens to individual sand grains over hundreds of years...
