Recent Advances on Quasi-Static Response of Ship and Offshore Structures

This paper presents a summary of the recent advances on Quasi-static response of ship and offshore structures as discussed by the Technical Committee II.1 - Quasi-Static Response of International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress (ISSC), 2006. The technical committee’s mandate was concern for the quasi-static response of ship and offshore structures, as required for safety and serviceability assessments. Attention was given to uncertainty of calculation models for use in reliability methods, and both exact and approximate methods for the determination of stresses appropriate for different acceptance criteria were considered.
