Abstract
This chapter deals with different types of environmental loads on offshore structures. It also includes code information regarding the loads. Step-by-step method for load estimate on a cylindrical member and an example structure is detailed. The procedure for estimating wave loads is illustrated through examples. Computer codes are included for load estimates; simple MATLAB program is used to illustrate the code. Exercise is given at the end along with the key for self-learning.
