This book sheds new light on the design and installation of drag
anchors and plate anchors for offshore service. It provides readers
with detailed methodologies for geotechnical design, structural
assessment, and installation techniques that are crucial for ensuring
the safety and reliability of offshore anchorage systems. The chapters
cover topics such as site investigation methods, geotechnical design
principles, structural assessment methodologies, and installation and
testing recommendations. Expert contributors offer insights into taut,
semi-taut, and catenary mooring systems. The author presents an expert
analysis of classification protocols while recognizing alternative
approaches that meet safety standards. This book invites readers to
think through critical questions such as: How can we ensure the
reliability of offshore anchorage systems? What are the best practices
for site investigation? How do we perform accurate structural
assessments? Readers will discover diverse perspectives from
practitioners in marine engineering. The empirical research presented
here addresses both theoretical perspectives and practical case
studies. Particular attention is given to methodologies that support
or augment Class Rules without replacing them. This makes the book
highly readable while maintaining its scientific rigor. Naval
architects, marine engineering students, marine surveyors, and
offshore industry professionals will find this book invaluable. It
serves as an essential reference for academics in industrial design
and engineering courses. Offshore installation managers and senior
safety management professionals will benefit from its practical
guidance on classification protocols for drag and plate type anchors
used in the offshore industry. Whether you are a seasoned expert or
new to the field, this book offers indispensable knowledge that will
enhance your understanding and application of offshore anchorage
systems. This volume is part of a series dedicated to advancing
knowledge in marine engineering practices. Researchers in the field of
offshore industry will find it particularly beneficial for its
comprehensive coverage of current methodologies and best practices.
