ISSC Technical Committee III.1 - Ultimate Strength
Book chapter, 2025

Concern for the collapse behaviour of ships and offshore structures and their structural components under ultimate conditions. Uncertainties in strength assessment shall be highlighted. Attention shall be given to the influence of load combinations, fabricationinduced imperfections, life-cycle effects, damage, and user approach. Consideration shall be given to the practical application of methods.
