Summary

Accidental limit states (ALS) are one of four types of limit states (described in Section 5.1), and they represent a condition in which a particular structural member or an entire structure fails to perform its designated function as a result of excessive structural damage, resulting from accidents such as unintended flooding, collisions, fires or explosions (Paik 2018, 2020). A range of adverse events may ensue if ALS are reached on a ship-shaped offshore installation, including severe injuries or loss of life among the crew and severe damage to and/or loss of property, with consequent substantial financial losses and environmental pollution.
