6、ral reliability Safety assessmen 1 Introduction A pontoon-type very large floating structure (VLFS) consists of several subsystems, such as a floating structure, a mooring system, a breakwater, access to land, and so on. To ensure the safety of a VLFS, a safety assessment based on collapse scenarios

7、 for the total system must be performed. For example, the safety of the floating structure must be assessed not only for an intact breakwater, but also for a damaged breakwater. In this study, a structural reliability analysis of a pontoon-type VLFS surrounded by a gravity-type breakwater was perfor

8、med. The bending and shear collapses of a unit with an I-shaped cross section, consisting of a deck flange, a bottom flange, and a girder web, are considered as the failure mode of the floating structure. The gravity-type breakwater may suffer from several types of damage, such as sinking, sliding,

9、or overturning. Here, damage by overturning, which increases significantly with increasing wave height, is considered. The probability distribution of significant wave heights in front of the breakwater is determined based on the statistics for extreme waves in Tokyo Bay. The probability of the brea

10、kwater overturning, and the transmitted wave heights when the breakwater is intact or is damaged, are then calculated. A hydroelastic response analysis of a pontoon-type VLFS is performed to find the wave-induced internal forces. The ultimate bending and shear strengths of the floating structure are

11、 calculated using the idealized structural unit method (ISUM)1  and FEM, respectively. From these results, the probability of failure of the floating structure in relation to the damage to breakwater is calculated. The structural safety of the VLFS is assessed by a comparison with the target sa
