The paper, which was presented in the 7th International Conference on Thin-Walled Structures, discusses procedures that are applied for the assessment of the crashworthiness of marine structures, in particular ships, when they are subjected to impact loads, such as collisions with other floating or fixed bodies and groundings. The section that follows the introduction presents the methods that have been developed and used for the determination of the damage of ship structures subjected to impact loads. The following section discusses an aspect that is essential for the realistic finite-element simulation of the impacts, namely the modelling of the material behaviour. The last section presents briefly the procedures to assess if a structure is crashworthy and if a measure to reduce the risk related to accidental loads is effective. Aspects that are discussed in the paper are the object of other papers that are presented in the sessions on “Collisions and Groundings” of the Conference.
