Response of a SPAR Offshore Platform to Wave Action- An Experimental Study

The preliminary experimental results on the scale model of a SPAR offshore platform are presented and analysed. The structure, a classic SPAR, has been designed as a hypothetical model. The study targets to fill a vacuum in the design of such important structures by conducting physical modelling....
