Book Synopsis
This book introduces the theory of the structural loading on ships and offshore structures caused by wind, waves and current, and goes on to describe the applications of this theory in terms of real structures such as conventional ships, high-speed marine vehicles, barges, risers, buoys, fishing nets and gravity platforms.
