The design wave loads on offshore structures subjected to both the current and the wave is examined with a random vibration approach. To ensure their extreme value adequately is essential to design them reasonably. Although random vibration analysis which is corroborated by reliability provides accurate estimation of the structural response, it is obviously impractical to carry out it in the design process. In this study, the design wave loads with current effect which corresponds to the static analysis design scheme is examined based on the maximum expected value of wave forces and structural responses.
