- Abstract
- A study of research needs to enhance the capability to design, maintain, and approve concrete offshore structures for the Arctic was carried out by the National Bureau of Standards on behalf of the Minerals Management Service, Department of the Interior. The study was composed of three activities: a letter survey of key individuals in the field; an international workshop on the subject; and a review of available literature. Data gathered from these activities were used to develop a comprehensive list of research needs in the following areas: design, materials, construction, inspection and repair.
