Modelling for Uncertainties in Resistance for Jacket Platforms in Malaysia

Abstract: Structural design strength is based on characteristic values of basic random variables of resistance. The behaviour of these variables of strength may vary in such a way that they become unsafe during any time of their design life. The data for this study was collected from an ISO certif...
