The estimation methods for wind loads on marine objects

In the structural design of ships and offshore objects wind loads do not usually constitute as the most important factor on the total loading on those structures, yet the magnitude of the mean static forces and the moments caused by the wind could induce effects in which these forces and moments become critical provoking cracks and obstructing efficiency during various ship and offshore operations. From a designer’ s viewpoint the accuracy of these estimates is important since it influences safety margins, economy of design and operational restrictions. For the calculation of wind loads on ships and offshore structures an overview is given. Wind loads on marine structures expressed as the ahead force, the side force and the yawing moment were calculated and compared for the four available methods.
