Committee III.1: Ultimate Strength
Paper in proceeding, 2026

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, fabrication-induced imperfections, life-cycle effects, damage, and user approach. Consideration shall be given to the practical application of methods.
