Experience from model tests has initiated a growing attention towards extreme wave slam as a critical load situation for offshore large volume structures. Most of the problem is related to the local slam pressure, which may go up to several MPa’s for 100-year and 10 000-year waves. The paper deals with modeling techniques for marine concrete structures under extreme slam loading from waves where dynamic effects together with material softening play a major role for the response. Different analysis approaches for ultimate limit state (ULS) and accidental limit state (ALS) controls are discussed in view of reliability philosophy as basis for conventional design approach. The present paper is devoted to the local impact scenario and the alternative approaches for response and capacity control involving non-linear time domain analyses. Conventional design schemes as based on linear elastic models for response calculation together with code specified capacity control often come out more conservative than non-linear approach. The paper demonstrates by case studies how softening of the structure in general reduces the response in terms of section forces. A key issue when going from conventional linear approaches into non-linear techniques is to still keep an acceptable reliability level on the capacity control. Load and material factors are normally based on structures with limited non-linearity where linear response modeling is representative. Implementing non-linear material model in time domain analysis has a major challenge in limiting the sensitivity in response and capacity calculation. The paper demonstrates the way material model of concrete affects the section forces to go into local capacity control, and concludes on needed sensitivity analyses. Practical approaches on the concrete slam problem together with resulting utilizations from the control are demonstrated. The full non-linear technique by response and capacity control in one analysis is also handled, using average material parameters and justifying safety factors for the effect of implementing characteristic lower strength of concrete in the capacity. The paper ends up in a recommendation on non-linear time domain analysis procedure for typically slam problems. A discussion is also given on applicable design codes with attention to non-linear analysis.

Ship transport is growing up rapidly, leading to ships size increase, and particularly for container ships. The last generation of Container Ship is now called Ultra Large Container Ship (ULCS). Due to their increasing sizes they are more flexible and more prone to wave induced vibrations of their hull girder: springing and whipping. The subsequent increase of the structure fatigue damage needs to be evaluated at the design stage, thus pushing the development of hydro-elastic simulation models. Spectral fatigue analysis including the first order springing can be done at a reasonable computational cost since the coupling between the sea-keeping and the Finite Element Method (FEM) structural analysis is performed in frequency domain. On the opposite, the simulation of non-linear phenomena (Non linear springing, whipping) has to be done in time domain, which dramatically increases the computation cost. In the context of ULCS, because of hull girder torsion and structural discontinuities, the hot spot stress time series that are required for fatigue analysis cannot be simply obtained from the hull girder loads in way of the detail. On the other hand, the computation cost to perform a FEM analysis at each time step is too high, so alternative solutions are necessary. In this paper a new solution is proposed, that is derived from a method for the efficient conversion of full scale strain measurements into internal loads. In this context, the process is reversed so that the stresses in the structural details are derived from the internal loads computed by the sea-keeping program. First, a base of distortion modes is built using a structural model of the ship. An original method to build this base using the structural response to wave loading is proposed. Then a conversion matrix is used to project the computed internal loads values on the distortion modes base, and the hot spot stresses are obtained by recombination of their modal values. The Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse is used to minimize the error. In a first step, the conversion procedure is established and validated using the frequency domain hydro-structure model of a ULCS. Then the method is applied to a non-linear time domain simulation for which the structural response has actually been computed at each time step in order to have a reference stress signal, in order to prove its efficiency.
