NB! This is an elective course and may be cancelled if fewer than 10 students are enrolled by August 20th for the autumn semester.
Course content:
Analysis and design for accidental actions
Overview of design and analysis methods for accidental loads to civil and marine structures.
Blast and explosion design and analysis. Design philosophy and method with reference to various design standards are presented.
Accidental actions from ship collisions with bridges, offshore platforms, wind turbines, and other ships. Structural design against accidental loads according to codes and guidelines including NORSOK, DNV RP, and Eurocode.
Design and analysis of dropped object impact.
Case examples of collision and impact analysis using advanced software (e.g. LS-DYNA/Abaqus). (Computer-aided case study assignment)
Learning outcome
Upon completion of the course, the students shall have a fundamental knowledge of the advanced non-linear analysis and design principles of civil and marine structures. The students will also be able to understand the behavior of structures under accidental loadings. The students can apply existing theories, methods and scientific insight in the structural engineering field and work independently. The students may develop advanced skills in structural analysis and design, critical evaluation and solving critical issues of civil and marine structures.
