The calculations can be performed in two ways:  Replacing the histogram built in each time window by theoretical distribution and calculating with it the POE of the maximal amplitude;


 Dividing unity by the number of cycles in each time window.


The former method is time consuming but allows for other analyses to be performed beyond the purpose of this particular study. The latter method is simple and fast and is recommended for cases when only hull girder bending moments are analyzed. The effect of the two methods on the final results was analyzed and preference was given to the latter approach. Thus, a new statistical sample


is formed containing data for the maximal


amplitudes in each time window with their corresponding POE.


Step III: Dividing the statistical sample of maximal MW,h into several groups using as a criterion the POE of the recorded maximal MW,h,i.


It is not possible to calculate the Probability of


Occurrence (POO) of any given value with the theory of probabilities. Only the POO within two given boundaries can be calculated. Therefore, several


regions (with


corresponding two boundaries) of the random variables are created and the probability of getting into each of them is calculated. The POO of the random variable within each group “i” is formulated as:


10  i0.5 


 0.5 POE of max M h, i W, where i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

contains only maximal MW,h,i with identical POE/POO. The data in each group “i” is used to build a histogram having as abscissa the maximal MW,h,i represented as a


portion of the design MW,h. Then, the histogram in each group “i” is

the results when the POE of the maximal MW,h is neglected which corresponds to the procedure following the EVT presently applied for calculating the POE of the


design MW,h.


One should note here that the probabilistic distributions of maximal MW,h in each group are not identical. The


POE of the design MW,h in each group, Pd,i , is calculated as:
