Engineering Books on Offshore & Marine Structures

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.

Regards,

visit www.eagle.org and have a look

There are alot of out of print books that you can sometimes download from the internet from Scribd or Iso Hunt.

What kind of calculations are you looking to perform?

Hi Man,

I am looking for calculations on  Offshore & Marine Structures. Thanks for replying.

RE: Engineering Books on Offshore & Marine Structures

Yes but calculation on offshore structures could mean alot of things? "structures which are placed on vessels, drill ships, semi-submersibles, supply boats etc." what does this mean?

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?

Thank you Ussuri.

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.

RE: Engineering Books on Offshore & Marine Structures

Okay, so what are these launch frames used for? What is the offshore structure? Be as specific as possible?

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.
