Developments in the Analysis and Design of Marine Structures is a collection of papers presented at MARSTRUCT 2021, the 8th International Conference on Marine Structures (by remote transmission, 7-9 June 2021, organised by the Department of Marine Technology of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway), and is essential reading for academics, engineers and professionals involved in the design of marine and offshore structures.

The MARSTRUCT Conference series deals with Ship and Offshore Structures, addressing topics in the fields of:

- Methods and Tools for Loads and Load Effects;

- Methods and Tools for Strength Assessment;

- Experimental Analysis of Structures;

- Materials and Fabrication of Structures;

- Methods and Tools for Structural Design and Optimisation; and

- Structural Reliability, Safety and Environmental Protection.

The MARSTRUCT conferences series of started in Glasgow, UK in 2007, the second event of the series took place in Lisbon, Portugal in March 2009, the third in Hamburg, Germany in March 2011, the fourth in Espoo, Finland in March 2013, the fifth in Southampton, UK in March 2015, the sixth in Lisbon, Portugal in May 2017, and the seventh in Drubovnik, Croatia in May 2019.

The ?Proceedings in Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering? series is dedicated to the publication of proceedings of peer-reviewed international conferences dealing with various aspects of ?Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering?. The Series includes the proceedings of the following conferences: the International Maritime Association of the Mediterranean (IMAM) conferences, the Marine Structures (MARSTRUCT) conferences, the Renewable Energies Offshore (RENEW) conferences and the Maritime Technology (MARTECH) conferences. The ?Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering? series is also open to new conferences that cover topics on the sustainable exploration and exploitation of marine resources in various fields, such as maritime transport and ports, usage of the ocean including coastal areas, nautical activities, the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources, the protection of the marine environment and its resources, and risk analysis, safety and reliability. The aim of the series is to stimulate advanced education and training through the wide dissemination of the results of scientific research.
