Managing Information Uncertainty in Wave Height Modeling for the Offshore Structural Analysis through Random Set

This chapter presents a reliability study for an offshore jacket structure with emphasis on the features of nonconventional modeling.Firstly, a random set model is formulated for modeling the random waves in an ocean site.Then, a jacket structure is investigated in a pushover analysis to identify the critical wave direction and key structural eleme
