Offshore and Marine Concrete Structures: Past, Present, and Future (The Concrete Convention and Exposition, March 24-28 Quebec City, Quebec, Canada)
海上和海上混凝土结构:过去、现在和未来(3月24日至28日加拿大魁北克魁北克市混凝土会议和博览会)
Offshore and marine concrete structures have not received enough attention in the recent past, at least in the United States. The complexity and safety concerns associated with these structures are such that they probably need more attention compared to many other types of concrete structures. Also, offshore and marine concrete structures are so global in nature that there is a higher need for better coordination and synchronization of design, construction, inspection, and maintenance practices in different parts of the world.A two-part session, titled "Offshore and Marine Concrete Structures: Past, Present, and Future," was held at the Spring 2019 ACI Concrete Convention and Exposition on March 24-28 in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The session, sponsored by ACI Committee 357, Offshore and Marine Concrete Structures, highlighted accomplishments of the past, current state-of-the-practice, and a path for the future. This ACI Special Publication (SP) is a compilation of select papers presented at the session. The efforts of all the reviewers in assuring the quality of this publication is greatly acknowledged.
