OSTI ID:6038868

This is volume 2 of a 4 volume set of conference proceedings dealing with offshore development of mineral resources. This particular conference centers around the design, construction, and installation of offshore platforms and underwater pipelines. It contains papers which discuss retrofitting of various types of platforms to meet current safety standards. It also discusses design criteria used to minimize wave motion in offshore platforms, moorings, and various types of support facilities. Papers also describe methods for welding joints in both platforms and pipelines. Many papers specifically address economic aspects of offshore development and the cost of complying with increasing safety regulations and standards. A few papers also deal directly with engineered safety systems as they apply to offshore platforms.
