In the present study, numerical analysis was performed for hydrodynamic motion and structural performance on four different concrete floating structures, which have same cross-section but different length. The hydrodynamic analysis of floating structures is carried out using ANSYS AQWA with the different 34 wave load on regular wave period from three seconds to ten seconds in 35 m water depth. In order to evaluate structural performance of floating structures under the critical wave load which obtained from hydrodynamic analysis. The integrated analysis is also carried out through the mapping method, which can directly connect the wave-induced hydraulic pressure obtained form ANSYS AQWA to Finite Element Model in ANSYS Mechanical. As a results of this study, the hydrodynamic motion of floating structures is decreased as the length of structure increased. It means that the effect of wave-structure interaction is strongly dependent on the relationship between a wave period and a length of structure. Moreover, it is found that tension stress on bottom slab of floating structure is occurred by the critical wave load, the sectional force is not influenced by length of a structure.

높이 2.5m의 콘크리트 플로팅 함체에 3층 규모의 상부골조가 있는 예제에 대해 동적 유체 해석과 정적 구조 해석을 수행하고 그 결과에 따라 종방향설계, 함체의 상부 및 하부 슬래브, 외벽 및 격벽에 대한 설계를 수행하였다. 환경 하중은 새만금 방파제 내부 정수역을 기준으로 파도주기 3.7초, 유의파고 1.0m와 풍속 40m/s를 적용하였으며, 하중조합은 ASCE/SEI 7-10을 기준으로 설계 하였다. 예제 구조물에 대한 설계 결과 고정하중에 의한 영향이 활하중 및 파랑하중에 비해 크게 나타났으며, 이로 인해 중앙부의 철근비가 높아지므로 고정하중을 감소시키는 방안을 검토하여야 함을 확인하였다. 또한 보의 지속하중에 의한 장기처짐과 추가적인 활하중에 의한 순간 처짐의 값이 허용 처짐값보다 크므로 보에서의 프리스트레싱을 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The design of LNG ship needs very high level structural design/analysis technology compared with conventional ship types because it requires perfect security against the extremly dangerous and cryogenic cargo. Hence, present paper describes the general procedure of the structural safety assessment for independent tank type LNG ship, which contains following items. 1) Long term prediction of the wave induced stresses including ship motion analysis, structural analysis of hull and tank and stochastic analysis process of ocean waves. 2) Fatigue strength analysis of a tank structure based on the S-N approach. 3) Structural safety assessment against the fatigue crack propagation based on the LBF(Leak Before Failure) concept. The first report focuced on the item (1) (2) and example calculation was performed on a prototype LNG ship. The remained part will be covered by the second report.

The cargo of ships and offshore structures is the number of oil of combustibility and volatile, oil processing cargo. Furthermore heavy cargo of the vehicle or container box or bulk cargo are occupied the remainder of cargo. In addition, there is a possibility to move the location of the cargo and the vessel because it is received periodic / non-periodic a load of wave and ocean current. Therefore a shipboard hazard is much greater than onshore industry hazard. Monitoring and preparation for safety are necessary things because there is always risk of accidents arise from the impact of the freight and cargo of ships and offshore structures. In this study, we conducted a study with respect to the introduction of the wireless sensor network monitoring system to ensure the safety of the crew and workers on shipboard.

An efficient and practical reliability evaluation method is proposed for the coastal structures in this paper. It is capable of evaluating reliability of real complicated coastal structures considering uncertainties in various sources of design parameters, such as wave and current loads, resistance-related design variables including Young's modulus and compressive strength of the reinforced concrete, soil parameters, and boundary conditions. It is developed by intelligently integrating the Latin Hypercube sampling (LHS), Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and the finite element method (FEM). The LHS-based MCS is used to significantly reduce the computational effort by limiting the number of simulation cycles required for the reliability evaluation. The applicability and efficiency of the proposed method were verified using a caisson-type breakwater structure in the numerical example.
