Abstract

Offshore structural members in Maritime Structures are subjected to various kinds of loading starting from Dead Load of structures and Dynamic loads from wind, waves, currents and operational loads during berthing and mooring of ships and vessels. The stability analysis of the structural members also demands an insight into the elastic properties of the founding sea bed level. Due to requirement of transport of large volume of cargoes and related continuous enlargement of ship sizes the conventional approaches for designing demand revision particularly for frequent extreme weather events. A large number of tailormade softwares both for structural requirements (viz. STAADPRO etc.) modified for maritime requirements (viz. SACS etc.) the requirements are endless. This paper discusses some fundamental loading parameters on such structural elements to invite attention of scientists and maritime structural engineers for development of wholistic model of solution taking care of variation of everchanging factors.

Author Biography

  • SUDIPTA CHAKRABORTY, Research Scholar , Civil Engineering Department, The Assam Royal Global University Betkuchi NH 37 Guwahati Assam 781035 India
    Born on December 05,1957 at Shalboni in West Midnapur District in the state of West Bengal, India, Sudipta Chakraborty had his schooling in Midnapur Collegiate School and had his graduation in Civil Engineering from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpore (Erstwhile known as Bengal Engineering College) in 1978. He had M. Tech in Aerospace Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He is an alumnus of International Institute of Insfrastructure, Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering, Delft, The Netherlands, a Fellow of Institution of Engineers (India) and a Life Member Of PIANC, Belgium. Sudipta had worked for 26 Years at Haldia, the deep-drafted satellite port, in India’s only Riverine Port of Kolkata. During his professional journey through the career ladder upto the position of Head of the Infrastructure Division, over the years he was deeply associated with various capital development projects of Haldia Port. After parting from port services in 2008 he later worked in various reputed construction and consultancy firms. He was associated with very large marine infrastructure works like Dredging of 33KM long channel of Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and Mumbai Harbour, Reclamation of 90 Hectare of land from Arabian Sea for the Container Terminal of ‘Port of Singapore Authority’ within Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, Mumbai, Multimodal Inland Water Terminal at River Ganges at Varanasi etc. Sudipta has a few monographs published in International Journals from London, Denmark, Singapore etc. He is a reviewer of papers for International Conference on Coasts & Ports, Australia. Journal Of Coastal Research, USA. Presently Sudipta is a researcher in Coastal Engineering. He has authored a book 'Sea Level Rise : Are we ready?'
