[Awre]

I am looking for references on different types of mooring system of offshore floating structures in various depthes and seafloor types. I appreciate if there's recommended educational web links, textbooks, etc.

Thanks

Mooring for what?

From "BigInch's Extremely simple theory of everything."

API RP 2I could be a good start as it points out what can go wrong with the more common types of mooring.

Then try a wander through

The section on Moorings in Chakrabati's Handbook of Offshore Engineering Vol2 can help with general overview. Also, try to see API PR 2SK on Stationkeeping of Floating Structures.

This gives a review of wave device mooring systems, doesnt list them in relation to depth a seabed type, but gives you the key types.
