Engineering Books on Offshore & Marine Structures
Engineering Books on Offshore & Marine Structures
(OP)
Hi All,
Can some please advise which are the best well known engineering books on "Design of Offshore & Marine Structures" which I can buy? I am not looking for "ship design" books, but only looking for structures which are placed on vessels, drill ships, semi-submersibles, supply boats etc.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Are you looking to calculate:
1. Stress
2. Vibrations
3. Fatigue
4. Seafastening
5. Wave forces
6. Dampening due to added mass
Can you please be more specific?

Man008, in our industry we have some launch frames and offshore structures made of beams and columns and braces. We have to analyse these launch frames and structures and study loadings and reactions of these structures on the vessel deck. As per DNV, ABS we apply accelerations of 0.75 g in all directions to the mass of the equipment and analyse. But in order to do this I need some literature/books to study the details.

the 0.75g is very small, I would refer you to Noble Denton 'Guidelines for Marine Transportations'
I used to do sea fastening and transport reports, so I will help you if I can, but you need to be very specific. A structure with columns, beams, and braces? thats not specific, that could be anything.
