Design consideration for Ocean Structures

A) Environmental Loadings
1) Force due to wind
2) Wave Force
3) Current Force
B) Function and Operation
Due to tides and water level variations
C) Selection of materials and the durability and Longevity of structures
1) Corrosion
2) Fouling(due to accumulation of various plant growths and animal organisms on partially/fully immersed surfaces)
3) Attack by marrine organism
4) Scouring and deposition
