'The book is easy to read and concise with adequate supporting documentation wherever necessary. The authors have made a comprehensive presentation that the subject unfolds itself and develops smoothly from the beginning till the end that even engineers who are new to the field can easily get a comprehensive overview of the subject. Hence, this book will be useful to students specializing in offshore studies, nd also for practising engineers as a handy reference book.'Journal of Structural Engineering, June/ July 2005
