This project is the brainchild of the CresT JIP. The central question of the CresT JIP was What is the highest (most critical) wave crest that will be encountered by a platform in its lifetime? In July 2010 the CresT JIP was completed and resulted in a number of important and practical recommendations for the wave and crest heights to be used in floating platform design.
ShortCresT will derive a state of the art methodology to apply to short-crested models and to take into account short crestedness in the design of offshore structures against extreme waves based on a good description of their spectral characteristics, statistics, kinematics, breaking and loading. The end result will be a concrete (empirical) design methodology.
Project completed. Close out meeting held October 17-18, 2013 in Houston. Deliverables downloaded but confidential until 11-30-2015. However, the list of deliverables have been provided below.
