The safety analysis of marine engineering structures in diverse oceanic environments and amidst multiple hazard scenarios is a pivotal concern in the maritime engineering domain. The intricate interplay of ocean dynamics and the looming threats of natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes poses formidable challenges to these structures. This Research Topic endeavors to scrutinize the impacts of oceanic settings and concurrent hazards on the safety of marine engineering structures while offering proactive measures and risk mitigation strategies. Through comprehensive assessments of wave dynamics, tidal forces, and environmental variables, it aims to elucidate their profound influences on structural behaviors. Moreover, by investigating the combined effects of various hazards, it seeks to devise strategies for holistic risk management. This Research Topic will also spotlight innovative approaches and practical experiences in dynamic response analysis, structural safety assessment, and real-time monitoring systems, thereby fostering advancements in marine engineering safety research and practice.
The primary objective of this Research Topic is to advance understanding and practices related to the safety analysis of marine engineering structures in dynamic oceanic environments and multi-hazard scenarios. Through rigorous examination of wave dynamics, tidal forces, environmental factors, and the combined effects of various hazards, the goal is to provide insights into enhancing the resilience and integrity of marine structures. Additionally, the Research Topic aims to foster the development and adoption of innovative methodologies for dynamic response analysis, structural safety assessment, and real-time monitoring systems. By disseminating cutting-edge research findings and practical experiences, the ultimate goal is to facilitate the implementation of effective strategies to mitigate risks and ensure the safety of marine engineering structures worldwide.
