Thor H. Søreide, Ultimate Load Analysis of Marine Structures,Tapir Akademisk Forlag, ISBN/ISBN2 9788251926966/, 1981 (in English)

SUMMARY
The present book is based on lectures in the specializing course \"Buckling and collapse of structures\" given at Division of Marine Structures, the Norwegian institute of Technology. The background for the modern design methods for buckling and collapse is described and special emphasis is laid upon application of these techniques in collision studies. It is hoped that the book may represent a valuable supplement to design rules.
