Safety assessment of offshore structure
Authors
Abstract:
Reliability of a system is the probability that it will function as intended for the required period of time. The opposite of reliability is failure probability per unit time or over time, such as a life cycle. Following a review of existing reliability codes and approaches, comprehensive approaches to assess the reliability of offshore structures are described, including probabilistic analysis by employing fault tree model.

reliability of a system is the probability that it will function as intended for the required period of time. the opposite of reliability is failure probability per unit time or over time, such as a life cycle. following a review of existing reliability codes and approaches, comprehensive approaches to assess the reliability of offshore structures are described, including probabilistic analysis...

PROBLEM Tragic marine and offshore accidents have caused serious consequences including loss of lives, loss of property, and damage of the environment. METHOD A proactive, risk-based "goal setting" regime is introduced to the marine and offshore industries to increase the level of safety. DISCUSSION To maximize marine and offshore safety, risks need to be modeled and safety-based decisions ...
full textSafety of Offshore Structures
This lecture presents an overview of important developments regarding the safety management of offshore structures. The hazards and the means to control the associated risk are categorized from a technical-physical as well as human and organizational point of view using actual accidents and near misses as examples. Considerations of the risk associated with fatigue, corrosion and other degradin...
full textassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Determination of the Design Load for Structural Safety Assessment against Gas Explosion in Offshore Topside
The possibility of gas explosion accidents always exists at offshore facilities of the oil and gas industry. In the design of those structures, the structural safety assessment against explosion loads is necessary to prevent loss of lives or catastrophic failure of structures. One of the essential parts in the structural assessment is to determine design explosion loads. Nowadays, the explosion...
full textReview of Uncertainty Reasoning Approaches as Guidance for Maritime and Offshore Safety-Based Assessment
Many different formal techniques have been developed over the past two decades for dealing with uncertain information for decision making. In this paper we review some of the most important ones, i.e., Bayesian theory of probability, Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence, and fuzzy set theory, describe how they work and in what ways they differ from one another, and show their strength and weaknes...
