SHIP COLLISIONS WITH OFFSHORE PLATFORMS

The impact resistance of concrete as well as steel platform main members subject to ship collision is discussed. Various modes of energy absorption in the platform structure are studied. Recent tests on local denting of models of tubular members of steel platforms are described. Order from NSFI as No. 22243.
