Abstract
This report addresses the subject of ductile collapse of ships and
offshore structures and their components due to buckling and
excessive yielding under overload conditions. Consideration is
given to load-deflection predictions for components with
fabrication imperfections and in-service damage and to the
ultimate strength and post-ultimate behaviour of structural
systems in order to identify the reserve strength. The effect of
uncertainties in the modelling on the strength predictions is
highlighted in two design examples.
