Structural Reliability & Integrity Management
Technical Bulletin 2010

Summary

This section provides insights into fatigue damage on ULCs, the impact of cargo loading on bulk carriers, risk-based inspection of deep offshore facilities, dealing with subsea systems and the direct calculation of ice loads.

Risk- based inspection is at the heart of the inspection business and remains essential to improve inspection efficiency. Certification of design life extension is a challenging business, as building standards may have changed and there is a need to manage the uncertainties of the current state of the structure in service.
