2. EVA Overview

A thorough understanding of extreme value analysis is important for properly assessing the extrene loads that may act on our HOS structures during their design lifetime. This chapter contains six videos that will explain how EVA is covered in this unit. A separate chapter in this online textbook covers the theoretical aspects.

The videos below are around 50 minutes length combined.(3, 6.5, 7.5, 11, 11, 9 min each). They are roughly equivalent to what we would cover in a 2 hour in-class lecture, and are meant to give an introduction and overview to the topics covered in the EVA theory chapter.
