Maritime Structures : Analysis, Design, and Construction

Maritime Structures: Analysis, Design, and Construction examines the intersection of structural form, analysis, and design with recent updates on these perspectives. Written for a wide spectrum of readers, the book presents fundamental learning materials for graduate students, researchers, and practicing professionals. It emphasizes three main principles: basics, applications, and recent advancements, and discusses how they influence the design, construction, and maintenance of maritime structures. It blends physical analogy with engineering design and encourages interdisciplinary thinking. Includes end-of-chapter problems and a solutions manual for adopting instructors. Promotes a shift from traditional math-intensive instruction to simple, classroom-style explanations for maritime structures. Presents a unique combination of theory, application, and updated design philosophy.
