Extreme sea statistics and combinations of environmental events or response for structures are very important problem in performance evaluation and design of coastal and Offshore structures. A probabilistic method is developed that leads to the combination of Typhoon (Hurricane) or winter storm induces winds, waves, currents and surge for a generic site. The traditional recommendation for the fixed structures is a combination of the 100 years maximum wave height with the 100 years wind and current. (omitted)

The present study is to investigate the effect of wave-structure interaction such as wave oscillation. The theoretical method is based upon the linear diffraction theory obtained by the boundary element method. The water depth and incident wave period in fluid region are assumed to be constant. To investigate the wave interaction due to offshore structures, the numerical program has been developed and the simulation has been carried out by varying the conditions of distance and width of offshore structures. This study can effectively be utilized for safety assessment to various breakwater systems and layout of offshore breakwater in the ocean and coastal field. It can give information for the safety to construct offshore structure and revetment in coastal region.

최근에까지 대형구조물이 해양공간이용의 목적으로 외해공항 및 해양터미날로 건설되어 왔다 그러나 때로는 이와같은 큰 규모의 구조물은 파량에 대해 현저한 벽으로 작용하게 되고 해안에 심각한 침식현상을 야기하게 된다 본 연구는 해안선으로부터 각기 다른 거리에 외해구조물을 건설할 때에 해저지형변화를 다룬 것으로 일련의 3차원 이동상실험으로 상세히 조사하였다 또한 해빈류와 외해구조물 배후의 국소침식과의 관계를 분명하게 하기 위하여 수리모델실험과 같은 규격으로 Boussinesq방정식 모델로 해빈류를 계산하고 비교하였다.

현재 해상풍력 발전 타워는 강구조로 제작되고 있으며, 발전용량의 증가에 따라 타워 구조체 또한 장대화 되는 추세이다. 강조조물의 특성상 좌굴에 취약하며, 장대화 됨에 따라 세장비가 증가하여, 좌굴 및 진동에 취약한 특성을 보이게 된다. 본 연구에서는 신형식 구조체인 이중관-콘크리트 합성 구조(DSCT; Double Skinned Composite Tubular)를 적용한 해상풍력 타워를 제시하고 요구 성능을 만족하는 최적 단면 설계를 제시하였다. 관은 섬유보강 합성수지 (FRP; Fiber Reinforce Polymer)와 강재를 적용한 경우를 고려하였으며, 모두 요구 성능을 만족하였다.

세굴에 의한 해상풍력터빈 지지구조물의 위험도 평가기법을 제안하였다. 제안방법은 세굴깊이별 발생확률과 세굴깊이에 따른 취약도를 이용한 위험도 평가방법이며 지진위험도 평가기법을 변형한 것이다. 세굴깊이의 확률분포는 유의파고, 유의 주기, 조류속 등 해양 환경조건을 고려하기 적합한 경험식을 이용해 산정했으며, 해상풍력터빈 지지구조물의 동적응답을 이용하여 세굴취약도 곡선을 산정하였다. 세굴깊이별 발생확률과 세굴에 의한 구조물의 세굴취약도 곡선을 결합하여 세굴위험도를 분석하였다.

Monopiles have been most widely used for supporting offshore wind turbines (OWTs) in shallow water areas. However, multi-member lattice-type structures such as jackets and tripods are also considered good alternatives to monopile foundations for relatively deep water areas with depth ranging from 25-50 m owing to their technical and economic feasibility. Moreover, jacket structures have been popular in the oil and gas industry for a long time. However, several unsolved technical issues still persist in the utilization of multi-member lattice-type supporting structures for OWTs; these problems include pile-soil-interaction (PSI) effects, realization of dynamically stable designs to avoid resonances, and quick and safe installation in remote areas. In this study, the effects of PSI on the dynamic properties of bottom-fixed OWTs, including monopile-, tripod- and jacket-supported OWTs, were investigated intensively. The tower and substructure were modeled using conventional beam elements with added mass, and pile foundations were modeled with beam and nonlinear spring elements. The effects of PSI on the dynamic properties of the structure were evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation considering the load amplitude, scouring depth, and the uncertainties in soil properties.

This study focuses on the reliability of a transmission line under wind excitation and evaluates the failure probability using explicit data resources. The data-driven framework for calculating the failure probability of a transmission line subjected to wind loading is presented, and a probabilistic method for estimating the yearly extreme wind speeds in each wind direction is provided to compensate for the incompleteness of meteorological data. Meteorological data from the Xuwen National Weather Station are used to analyze the distribution characteristics of wind speed and wind direction, fitted with the generalized extreme value distribution. Then, the most vulnerable tower is identified to obtain the fragility curves in all wind directions based on uncertainty analysis. Finally, the failure probabilities are calculated based on the presented method. The simulation results reveal that the failure probability of the employed tower increases over time and that the joint probability distribution of the wind speed and wind direction must be considered to avoid overestimating the failure probability. Additionally, the mixed wind climates (synoptic wind and typhoon) have great influence on the estimation of structural failure probability and should be considered.

In the design and construction of the coastal/offshore structures, it is very important to evaluate the geotechnical characteristics of marine soils, which support the structures. Although the offshore site investigation is much more difficult than onshore, safe and precise jobs have not been accomplished in Korea because of the insufficiency of the test equipments especially for the site with deep water depth. The main objective of this study is to develop a new type of marine cone penetration testing(CPT) system, which can be utilized to even deep sea and high depth of soil layer. The system is one of seabed types and employs the conventional cone, which shows more reliable results than miniature cone. The most important parts of the marine CPT including continuous rod system, cone penetration system with wheel drive, automatic cone rod assembly/dissembly system etc., were designed and manufactured. Some tests to verify the developed marine CPT system were performed at both onshore and offshore sites as well as mechanical test in laboratory. The test results show the consistent and promising performance of the new equipment, and thereafter the system would be applicable to various sites with practical/economical advantages.

Artificial islands, installations and structures have been used as a major means for ocean development and management since the early 20th century. The International legal regime to regulate the man-made offshore structures also have evolved and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) acts as a basic international instrument for that purpose. Although the Convention includes more detailed provisions on man-made offshore structures, there are some legal issues regarding jurisdiction of coastal State on the man-made offshore structures in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) or on the Continental shelf. For this reason, this article begins by reviewing the 1958 Convention on the Continental shelf and the UNCLOS by focusing on the EEZ and the Continental shelf regime governing the man-made offshore structures. It next examines some controversial international legal issues that have emerged from the regulation of man-made offshore structures in the EEZ or on the Continental shelf. This is followed by a review of the Korean domestic laws regulating artificial islands, installations and structures in the EEZ or on the continental shelf. Finally, it closes by summarizing the findings of the above examinations, and suggests some recommendations for future works.
