Learning objectives

Knowledge

Students who complete the module:

• Must have knowledge about design rules for marine structures including methods for deterministic and probabilistic assessment of loads on marine structures.
• Must have knowledge about analytical, numerical and experimental methods for investigation of marine and geotechnical problems.

Skills

Students who complete the module:

• Must be able to perform a marine and geotechnical site assessment and a design basis.
• Must be able to apply advanced numerical and experimental methods for analysis and assessment of loads and geotechnical response of marine structures.
• Must be able to compare and evaluate limitations and uncertainties related to simple and advanced methods for estimation of environmental load as well as geotechnical bearing capacity and deformations.
• Must be able to evaluate the safety by application of probabilistic methods for assessment of loads and bearing capacity of marine structures.

Competences

Students who complete the module:

• Must be able to apply proper terminology in oral, written and graphical communication and documentation of problems and solutions within marine structures.
