... ABSTRACT A method of computing the pressure of ice sheets drifting on structures of the multilegged type for a fixed probability is presented. This method is based on the idea of the variability in time of ice loading on the column of the structure. Variability of the ice loading is explained...

... ABSTRACT Operations related to construction and/or installation of engineering structures (here referred to as engineering operations) involve risk to the structures themselves. Although the probability of occurrence may be low, the economic consequences in case of failure will in most cases...

... a reliability analysis is performed considering the long-term statistics of combined environmental loads. The probability of exceeding levels of the axial force in one leg is studied, Static and dynamic analyses, long term and conditional extreme storm event analyses are performed. INTRODUCTION Jack-Up...
