Guedes Soares, C. (1992), “Combination of Primary Load Effects in Ship Structures”, Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics, Vol. 7, pp. 103-111

The models currently used for representing the still-water and the wave-induced load effects in ship structures are discussed. Models based both on random variables and on stochastic processess are considered. Load combination solutions are obtained based on the Ferry Borges-Castanheta model for random variables and also on an upcrossing formulation for stochastic processes. Load combination factors appropriate for code purposes are suggested and their values are derived from comparison with the load combination results.
