Objectives
Authors and presenters are invited to participate in this event to expand international cooperation, understanding and promotion of efforts and disciplines in the area of Structures, Safety and Reliability. Dissemination of knowledge by presenting research results, new developments, and novel concepts in Structures, Safety and Reliability will serve as the foundation upon which the conference program of this area will be developed.
Description
This symposium addresses probabilistic methods that allow the description of loading and strength variables, which constitute the basic information necessary for the assessment of the reliability of structures. In particular it includes sessions on:
Extreme and Freak Waves
Probabilistic and Spectral Wave Models
Wave Crest Distributions
Probabilistic Models of Forces and Motions
Reliability of Structural Components Offshore Structures
Reliability of Pipelines & Floating Production Systems
Fracture and Fatigue Reliability
Reliability Based Maintenance and Inspection Planning
Safety Against Oil Pollution, Fire and Explosion Safety
Risk Analysis and Safety Management
Human and Organizational Factors among others
Structural analysis and optimsation
Ultimate strength
Strength of tubular joints
Collision and crashworthiness
A variety of sessions are available for presentation as it allows flexibility to the authors. Although the majority of sessions are paper sessions, other types of sessions include keynotes, workshops and special sessions. All sessions are quality driven.
