PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE BEHAVIOR OF OFFSHORE STRUCTURES

BOSS '79 is concerned with waves, currents and fluid loading, the statics and dynamics of structures, material properties and behaviour, soil mechanics and foundation engineering, and the important interactions between these disciplines. The conference used an interdisciplinary approach, and covers both fundamental research and the experience gained in applying results to the behaviour of fixed and floating structures in exposed offshore areas.
