... Abstract The need for an accurate or at least conservative assessment of wind loads on offshore structures to ensure adequate safety is acknowledged by all stakeholders. A traditional, empirical method that uses a prescriptive approach has been accepted for many decades. Proposed designs...

The second was the lateral soil resistance at shallow depths was greater than those given by the empirical methods. Based on the study results, modifications are suggested to the present methods of constructing p-y curves...

... knots wind has been calculated at various heeling angles, both on basis of the wind tunnel test results and on basis of the empirical method prescribed in the ABS-rules. The intact stability requirements have been calculated and the gaining regarding permissible height of centre of gravity has been...
