SURFACE MOORINGS. REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE.
Abstract
The report presents a brief history of the moorings and tabulates their comparative performance. It also reviews the possible types of failures and the difficulties of failures evaluation. A theory which could explain the failure of the wire ropes is submitted. Improvements in the mooring systems evaluation and hardware are briefly outlined in the conclusion. Detailed information documenting the report is gathered in the Appendix. (Author)
