Advanced Steel Design of Structures

A comprehensive guide to analyzing and designing steel-framed structures under both standard and extreme conditions. The text emphasizes offshore compliant platforms, such as Tension Leg Platforms (TLPs), Triceratops, and Buoyant Leg Storage Regasification Platforms (BLSRPs), which rely on geometric form for stability. It details structural responses to accidental loads, including fire, blast, and ship impacts, while offering solutions for plastic design and buckling instability. The author integrates MATLAB® coding and numerical examples to help engineers and students solve complex stability functions and shape factor calculations. Furthermore, the source outlines the mechanical advantages of steel, such as its high strength-to-weight ratio, ductility, and recyclability in deep-water environments. Ultimately, the book serves as a specialized manual for ensuring the geometric and material integrity of modern marine infrastructure.Get the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/0367232901?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=ac3ad83180a83baade8eeaa679abfea0&language=en_US&gaOptInStatus=true&ref_=as_li_ss_tlYou can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/civil_engineering_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
