The philosophy of making trade-offs between cost and risk permits rational allocation resources in off-shore energy development projects, provided the technical and economic considerations are formulated so as to include indirect human and social consequences. Previous applications of this appproach to the selection of design criteria for storm loads, earthquakes, and fatigue in the case of new structures are reviewed. The paper then extends its application to rational decision-making in areas of structural monitoring, inspection, and repair, for existing structures. The roles of structural redundancy and secondary protective measures are illustrated. Current inspection practices and monitoring developments are discussed, along with results obtained over the last several years. (Jensen)
