Teixeira, A. and Guedes Soares, C. (1998), “On the Reliability of Ship Structures in Different Coastal Areas”, Structural Safety and Reliability, Shiraishi, Shinozuka & Wen (Eds.), A. A. Balkema, Japan, pp. 2073-2076

This paper aims at quantifying the changes in notional reliability levels that result from ships being subjected to different wave environments in European coastal waters. The probability of failure is calculated using a first order reliability methods. An example of the reliability analysis using different formulations of the wave induced and still water load effects is provided. Calculations are performed for different coastal areas showing how the risk levels depend on the area.
