Buckling of Offshore Structures: A State-Of-The-Art Review

This book gives detailed critical comments on the design of a wide range of structural components and on types of loading related to the buckling of offshore structures. Structural elements are treated according to type and are then categorised with respect to loading. The material properties, residual stresses and geometric imperfections peculiar to each structural element are considered, and their effects on the buckling strength of the element are then discussed. The book also has on-shore applications for steel structures liable to buckling. 9.5x6.5", xxxvii+472 pp.
