Risk-Management System for Infrastructure-Condition Assessment
Publication: Journal of Infrastructure Systems
Volume 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Like other categories of the nation's infrastructure, offshore platforms are aging, and present a problem to owners and regulators with regard to the tracking of vital information and the management of risk. A prototype information management system for California's offshore platforms, the California Coastal Platform Information Management System, is presented. The system addresses the problems of both information management and risk management in an easy-to-use PC-based software package. The system incorporates level 1 analyses for the assessment of structural integrity, failure consequences, and risk. It also incorporates platform data-management features for tracking structure information as well as advanced environmental data management features for the probabilistic description of wind, current, wave, and seismic events.
