As reliability-based limit-state design becomes popular in structural engineering, this book may also be a reference for structural engineers in other disciplines, such as buildings, 
bridges and spacecraft. This book is written for marine structural engineers and naval architects, as well as mechanical engineers and civil engineers who work on structural design. The preparation of the book is motivated by extensive use of the finite element analysis and dynamidfatigue analysis, fast paced advances in computer and information technology, and application of risk and reliability methods. As the professor of offshore structures at Stavanger University College, I developed this book for my teaching course TE 6076 “Offshore Structures” and TE6541 “Risk and Reliability Analysis of Offshore Structures” for M.Sc and Ph.D. students. This book has also been used in IBC/Clarion industry training courses on design and construction of floating production systems for engineers in the oil/@ industry.
