{"product_id":"9789814440677","title":"Arctic Offshore Engineering","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is an increasing need to construct engineering structures in the Arctic seas. The requirement is principally generated by the oil and gas industry, because of the substantial reserves that are known to exist offshore in the Beaufort Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Barents Sea, the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Sakhalin, the Canadian Arctic, and almost certainly elsewhere. Structures have to withstand the severe environmental forces generated by sea ice, a subject that is developing rapidly but is still far from completely understood. Underwater pipelines have to be safe against ice gouging and strudel scour, but also have to be constructed safely and economically. The social and human environment has to be understood and respected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis important book intentionally takes a broad view, and vividly accounts for the many and often subtle interactions between the different factors. It is illustrated by case studies of actual projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Human Context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Physical and Biological Environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIce Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIce Forces on Structures in the Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroken Ice, Pressure Ridges and Ice Rubble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIce Forces on Floating Platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArctic Marine Pipelines and Export Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironmental Impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuman Factors and Safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Professionals, academics, and graduate students in civil engineering.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144683208944,"sku":"9789814440677","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814440677_p0.jpg?v=1763692244","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814440677","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
