Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) deals with assessment, evaluation and technical diagnosis of different structural systems of strategic importance. Extensive knowledge of SHM shall lead to a clear understanding of risk and reliability assessment of structures, which is currently mandatory for structures of strategic importance like bridges, offshore structures, etc.This comprehensive compendium features explanations and salient illustrations of SHM with applications to civil engineering structures, in general and offshore structures, in particular. The book is unique with respect to its contents, experimental case studies in lab scale and text presentation style. A detailed subject matter of this nature is currently scarce in the literature market.The must-have volume is a useful reference text for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, professionals, academics and researchers in civil engineering, ocean engineering, mechanical engineering, and structural engineering.

Abstract: "The structural integrity of offshore oil platforms is of concern because of the possible loss of life and ecological damage that may occur with a structural failure. Therefore, the platforms are nondestructively inspected on a periodic basis. Inspection of the platforms by conventional methods, such as, ultrasonic and magnetic particle testing, is a very labor intensive and costly procedure. Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is a nondestructive test method that may reduce the cost of offshore evaluation of platforms. This report examines the AE characteristics of various stressed structural steels to determine the feasibility of utilizing the AE monitoring method for offshore applications. In this study, structural columns salvaged from offshore oil platforms as well as newly fabricated columns were tested. With the aid of long column, stub-column and four-point bend specimens, it has been shown that structural steels used for offshore applications exhibit bursts of acoustic emissions from the spalling of the brittle surface layers at the initiation of yielding. Therefore, overloading of a damaged column may be identified with the AE technique. The location of a damaged area on structural columns has also been successfully identified by utilizing the time of arrival analysis and triangulation methods."

A comprehensive overview of managing and assessing safety and functionality of ageing offshore structures and pipelines A significant proportion, estimated at over 50%, of the worldwide infrastructure of offshore structures and pipelines is in a life extension phase and is vulnerable to ageing processes. This book captures the central elements of the management of ageing offshore structures and pipelines in the life extension phase. The book gives an overview of: the relevant ageing processes and hazards; how ageing processes are managed through the life cycle, including an overview of structural integrity management; how an engineer should go about assessing a structure that is to be operated beyond its original design life, and how ageing can be mitigated for safe and effective continued operation. Key Features: Provides an understanding of ageing processes and how these can be mitigated. Applies engineering methods to ensure that existing structures can be operated longer rather than decommissioned unduly prematurely. Helps engineers performing these tasks in both evaluating the existing structures and maintaining ageing structures in a safe manner. The book gives an updated summary of current practice and research on the topic of the management of ageing structures and pipelines in the life extension phase but also meets the needs of structural engineering students and practicing offshore and structural engineers in oil & gas and engineering companies. In addition, it should be of value to regulators of the offshore industry.

UNDERWATER INSPECTION AND REPAIR FOR OFFSHORE STRUCTURES Benefit from a much-needed, up-to-date handbook on underwater inspection and repair processes and technologies Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures fills a gap in the literature to provide an overview of the inspection and repair processes for both steel and concrete offshore structures. Authors and noted experts on the topic John V. Sharp and Gerhard Esdal guide readers through the reasons why inspection and repair are performed and how both are linked to the management of structural integrity, statutory requirements, and various types of damage. The book addresses critical topics, including the execution and planning of inspection and repair, the tools and methods used, and their deployment underwater. The authors put particular focus on steel and concrete offshore oil and gas installations, but the content is also applicable to the substructures of offshore wind turbines. Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures is complementary to the authors’ book Ageing and Life Extension of Offshore Structures, also from Wiley. This important book: Covers current inspection and monitoring techniques to evaluate existing structures Includes coverage of robotic (ROV) inspection and repair methods Provides an overview of repair and maintenance techniques applicable to the splash‑zone and underwater operations Written for engineers, designers, and safety auditors working with offshore structures. Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures is a comprehensive resource for understanding how to effectively inspect and repair these vulnerable structures.
