Long-Term Extreme Response of a Straight Floating Bridge Across the Bjørnafjord Available to Purchase

In this paper, long-term extreme response analysis is performed for a straight floating bridge across the Bjørnafjord, using a recently developed inverse first-order reliability method (IFORM) approach. Full integration of the long-term extreme response formulation is also performed for comparison. Two different environmental models are estimated based on a scatter diagram of significant wave height and peak period for the given location. The IFORM method is seen to provide reasonable estimates of the long-term extreme response, at a significantly reduced computational effort.
