Publisher's Synopsis
In the seventeen years since the first Behaviour of Offshore Structures conference took place in Trondheim, offshore engineering has been in the forefront of many diverse technological developments. While these advances have been specifically directed at the discovery and production of offshore oil and gas reserves, the resulting technologies have also benefited other maritime and land based industries. The BOSS conferences have been concerned with the design, construction and installation of structures used for the development of offshore oil and gas fields.;These three volumes include more than 100 state-of-the-art technical papers covering the areas of Geotechnics, Hydrodynamics and Structures, and address the key topics facing the future of the offshore industry.
