The reliability of coastal structures in Vietnam in relation to the reliability of wave and water level data

In designing marine and coastal structures there always exists a considerable uncertainty, especially regarding the reliability of the data to be used. This is primarily due to the stochastic nature of sea waves - one of the most complex, volatile, pertinacious and uncomprehensible of nature's forces. Indeed, even if using all the available...

Example application of reliability assessment of coastal structures

During the last few decades the believe that absolute security could be provided has been recognized to be mistaken in many branches of engineering. This happens as a consequence of the imperfect predictability of load intensity, structural characteristics and structural behavior, as well as a consequence of human gross errors during the design...

Venice High Water Barriers: Problems Analysis and Design Approach

The project to protect Venice against periodic flooding appears to be a complex problem due to the city and surrounding environment that are extremely fragile, the presence of the port activity and the hazard of perturbation of the physical, chemical, biological equilibrium of the Venice lagoon. The mobile barriers are one of the components of a...

Reliability evaluation of a structure at sea

In general a safety factor or a conventional partial coefficient is used for the design of structures at sea. These methods are classified as Level I (deterministic) methods. However, such approaches do not allow the determination of the reliability (or the failure probability) of the design, and consequently it is neither possible to optimize,...

Risk analysis for marine systems: An introduction

The safety analysis of marine systems is studied. One assumes that the required results of the hazard analysis are available. The identification of the appropriate performance function and the relevant reliability calculation are discussed in detail. The procedure is exemplified for some basic categories of marine systems.
