Journal of Offshore Structure and Technology

Journal of Offshore Structure and Technology Journal of Offshore Structure and Technology [2349-8986(e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2014 focused on the publication of current Research/Review Work carried out in the area of Offshore structure and technology. The Journal covers all major areas involved in the field of Offshore Structure and technology.

• Offshore structural analysis and design: global and local structural response, limit state and reliability-based design, fatigue and fracture assessment, ultimate strength and collapse analysis, accidental and extreme loading including ice, blast, and impact, and design code development and calibration.
• Hydrodynamics and wave–structure interaction: wave loading on fixed and floating bodies, diffraction and radiation analysis, vortex-induced vibration, slamming and green water effects, motion response and seakeeping, metocean characterisation, and physical and numerical wave tank modelling.
• Fixed and floating platform systems: jacket and gravity-base substructures, concrete gravity and floating concrete structures, semi-submersibles, spars, tension leg platforms, floating production storage and offloading systems, jack-up units and drilling rigs, and topside and hull structural integration.
• Mooring and station-keeping: mooring line and anchor design, catenary, taut, and tendon systems, dynamic positioning, coupled analysis of vessel, mooring, and riser systems, and mooring integrity monitoring.
• Subsea systems, risers, and pipelines: riser design and dynamic response, submarine pipeline design, on-bottom stability and free spans, flow assurance, subsea production systems and templates, umbilicals and power cables, and pipeline laying and trenching.
• Offshore geotechnics: offshore site investigation, seabed soil characterisation, pile, suction caisson, and gravity foundation design, anchor holding capacity, cyclic and dynamic soil response, scour and seabed stability, ground improvement, and soil–structure interaction under environmental loading.
• Offshore renewable energy: fixed and floating offshore wind foundations and support structures, wave and tidal energy converters, floating solar systems, array layout and wake effects, and coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic analysis.
• Materials, corrosion, and structural integrity: steel and concrete performance in marine environments, corrosion protection and cathodic systems, coatings and composites, weld and joint performance, structural health monitoring, inspection and non-destructive evaluation, and life extension of ageing assets.
• Installation, operations, and decommissioning: transportation and load-out, heavy lift and crane vessel operations, float-over and mating procedures, weather window planning and marine operations, offshore construction methods, and decommissioning, removal, and reuse strategies.
• Risk, reliability, and safety: probabilistic risk assessment, structural reliability and uncertainty quantification, fire and explosion safety, emergency response and evacuation, environmental risk from offshore operations, and regulatory and certification frameworks.
• Underwater technology and habitats: underwater habitat design and life support, submersibles and remotely operated vehicles, autonomous underwater systems, underwater instrumentation and communication, and diver support structures.
