Condition assessment of aged structures is an invaluable, single source of information on structural assessment techniques for marine and land-based structures such as ships, offshore installations, industrial plant and buildings. Topics covered include:
- - Current practices and standards for structural condition assessment
- - Fundamental mechanisms and advanced mathematical methods for predicting structural deterioration
- - Residual strength assessment of deteriorated structures
- - Inspection and maintenance of aged structures
- - Reliability and risk assessment of aged structures
- Single source of information on structural assessment techniques for marine and land-based structures
- Examines the residual strength and reliability of aged structures
- Assesses current practices covering inspection, health monitoring and maintenance
Owners and operators of ships, oil rigs, bridges and other large assets such as fixed and mobile mining equipment; Anybody concerned with managing dynamically loaded equipment such as crushing mills, mobile plant and handling equipment
Part 1 Current practices: Current practices in condition assessment of aged ships and floating offshore structures; Current practices in condition assessment of aged fixed-type offshore structures; Definition and assessment of deficiencies in building construction. Part 2 Mechanisms, mathematical models and preventive measures for age-related deterioration: Corrosion wastage in aged structures; Fatigue cracking in aged structures; Local denting and other deterioration in aged structures. Part 3 Residual strength of aged structures: Corroded structures and residual strength; Cracked structures and residual strength; Dented structures and residual strength. Part 4 Reliability of aged structures: Reliability of aged ship structures; Reliability of aged offshore structures; Reliability of aged land-based structures. Part 5 Inspection and maintenance: Inspection of aged ships and offshore structures; Inspection of aged land-based structures; Maintenance of aged ships and offshore structures; Maintenance of aged land-based structures; Risk-based inspection and maintenance of aged structures.
