Abstract
One of the key issues in the design of offshore structures is to define the environmental conditions for the transportation route and installation site, and to determine the environmental loads acting on the structure for conditions such as transit, installation, operational extremes, and survival. The aim of this chapter is to give an overall picture of the environmental conditions and loads for offshore structural designs, and to detail the recent developments in the prediction of an extreme response. A systematic method for structural analysis of offshore structures has been developed to predict the extreme response and fatigue assessment under wave loads. Finally, approaches for both long- and short-term (surviving a storm) wave data are detailed.
