Publisher's Synopsis
This is the fourteenth volume in a series of publications containing classic papers of the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), the world's leading event for the development of offshore resources in the fields of exploration, drilling, production, and environmental protection. ASCE, through its participation in and support of the OTC, plays a major role in the innovation and evolution of the technologies needed to overcome the challenges facing development of resources in the offshore environment.
The years since the first Offshore Technology Conference in 1969 have seen the presentation of more than 10,000 papers in the various technical disciplines central to offshore development. A few of the civil engineering papers presented through OTC's history provided innovation, vision, and lasting impact on the design, construction, assessment, or installation of offshore infrastructure.
Offshore Technology in Civil Engineering: Hall of Fame Papers, Volume 14 includes the five winning papers inducted in 2019 at an award ceremony during the OTC in May 2019. The engineering innovations presented in these papers have proven their value through widespread use, permeating codes, standards, guidelines, and engineering software.
