ENHANCING THE PERFORMANCE OF OFFSHORE STEEL STRUCTURES
The object of this review is to present to those engaged in the design of offshore structures, and those charged with their maintenance, information concerning the manner in which testing often is performed as well as the performance of a variety of steel compositions which led to the development of several new proprietary steels. New data are presented concerning the long-term performance of protective coatings on steel. In addition, new data are presented concerning the long-term performance of thermally applied or metallized coatings on steel. Selected case histories are cited for the insight they provide toward the effective use of steel in offshore structures. By including an extensive bibliography, many useful data are brought to the attention of the practicing engineer.
