Offshore Structures Reliability Webinars
November 4, 2020 - November 5, 2020
The 2020 Offshore Structures Reliability Conference (OSRC) has been cancelled due to Covid-19; it is hoped to reschedule this conference in 2021. Since the 2018 OSRC, significant technical developments have occurred and the organising committee believe virtual engagement sessions with the offshore structures’ community, to inform and discuss, would be beneficial in the meantime. These sessions are arranged by IOGP Offshore Structures Subcommittee and open to professionals working in the offshore structural and metocean fields from Operating companies, Academia, Certifying bodies, Engineering houses, Fabricators, and Regulators etc.
Registration is required, which also includes approval for recordings of the sessions.
Planned virtual engagement sessions are:
Fixed offshore structures
Recent developments in wave load (wave-in-jacket and wave-in-deck)
Wednesday 4th November 2020 at 12:00 UK to 14:30 UK
Moderator: Andre van der Stap, Principal Technical Expert Offshore Structures, Shell

Registration not yet open
Structural reliability is an important subject (to set partial action factors for design and to set acceptance criteria for assessment), however, most structural engineers have not been formally trained in structural reliability and this makes dissemination and discussion of the recent developments difficult.
To increase the value of these virtual sessions to offshore structural engineers, preparatory work is required, through online videos on the following subjects:
(Download basic probability & statistics pdf)
(Download structural probability & statistics pdf)
(Download metocean probability & statistics pdf)
The webinars will be recorded. Registration is required by 26 October.
