Required test durations for converged short-term wave and impact extreme value statistics–Part 2: Deck box dataset

In the assessment of wave-in-deck loads for new and existing maritime structures typically model tests are carried out. To determine the most critical conditions and measure sufficient impact loads, a range of sea states and various seeds (realisations) for each sea state are tested. Based on these measurements, probability distributions can...

The dynamic influence of wave-in-deck forcing on a structure and the role of material non-linearity

Offshore assets experience wave forcings on a daily basis. Whilst the assets are designed with an airgap to protect the deck from these impacts, environments are prone to change, leaving the airgap to be insufficient. <br/><br/>Wave-in-deck (WID) is the phenomenon of waves hitting the deck despite of the airgap. The forcing exerted on the deck...

Dynamic Analysis of an Open Piled Jetty Subjected to Wave Loading

At different locations in the Caribbean cruise jetties have been damaged during hurricanes. The specific cause of the damage is unknown. In this research the role of the dynamic behaviour of a jetty investigated. This research has the goal to elaborate circumstances under which the dynamic behaviour of the open piled jetty on Sint Maarten...
