Maritime Works: General - Code of Practice for Assessment of Actions
Also Known As:
BS 6349-1-2:2016+A1:2017 is a standard. This standard provides recommendations for the assessment of actions that are relevant to the planning and design of maritime works. It aims to ensure the safety and performance of maritime structures by providing guidance on the assessment of various forces and actions associated with these structures.
The standard is primarily targeted towards professionals involved in the design, planning, and construction of maritime works, such as engineers, architects, and project managers. It serves as a valuable tool for these professionals to ensure that the actions affecting maritime structures, such as wave loads, current loads, wind loads, and ship impact loads, are adequately assessed and accounted for during the design process.
Using this standard is essential to ensure the safety, durability, and efficiency of maritime structures. By following the recommendations provided in BS 6349-1-2:2016+A1:2017, professionals can assess and design maritime works to withstand the forces and actions they are likely to encounter throughout their operational lifespan.
As for changes since the last update, the specific revisions and amendments made in the 2017 update are not provided in the given information.
