Three domains of uncertainty affect the design and performance of offshore structures. One domain encompasses the sampling and testing of offshore soils and the extrapolation of soil conditions from discrete sampling points to areas under planned foundations. Another domain arises in considering the pattern of forces on offshore structures to be expected from winds and waves. The third arises in modeling the interaction of the system of sea/structure/foundation/soil. This report describes work at MIT oriented toward reducing the uncertainties in each of these three domains. (Kursetz)
