Constructing marine building and offshore concrete structures can be complex because it includes to design and operate the structures with proper equipment to support systems, particularly for building oil platform for various purposes in petroleum industry such as drilling and extraction of crude oil. Now some conceptual studies have been developed to get competitive construction of marine and offshore structures for both fixed and floating steel structures with various types.
For civil and marine or maritime engineering students, project engineers, construction supervision, and planners, it is recommended to read Ben Gerwick’s book, Construction of Marine and Offshore Structures, Third Edition that covers theories and practices of marine and offshore construction for advanced technologies and methods. This reference includes additional discussion in its new topics. The new topics consist liquefaction of loose sediments, scour and erosion, archaeological and physical environmental aspects, advanced material and damage management.
By reading this Construction of Marine and Offshore Structures textbook, the readers easily understand for right concept to build marine structures and they will feel motivated to implement the design of LNG and offshore terminals with wave and wind energy analysis and construct-ability, particularly in deep sea construction.
