Abstract
Problems of assurance of reliability of off-shore engineering structures, which cover a wide range of spheres, are considered. Optimum results are obtained at a constant allowance for a real technology during the process of the structure fabrication. Approaches are described for the selection of materials, a system of safety factors, design of connections and recommendations for additional technological procedures, justification of requirements to the quality of welded joints, improvement of methods of assessment of a brittle strength and a cyclic life.
Keywords: stationary ice-resistant drilling rigs, deepwater apparatuses, welded joints, fatigue life, cyclic strength, crack resistance, requirements to the quality of welded joints
