Abstract: Coastal and offshore engineering buildings are often subjected to the simultaneous action of multiple Marine environmental dynamic elements (wave, current, tide and wind), and the joint fortification standard of load caused by this is an important basis for the design and construction of coastal and offshore engineering. Several methods are systematically summarized to determine the joint fortification standard of marine dynamic elements. The research progress includes total probability method, stochastic simulation method, dimensionality reduction method, normal transformation method, multidimensional theoretical distribution method, Copula function method. The main research results obtained in the last 30 years are emphatically expounded, and the characteristics and shortcomings of various methods are discussed and analyzed. The frontier and hot issues of joint fortification standard research are summarized from five aspects: universal multidimensional maximum entropy model, multidimensional composite distribution method, neural network algorithm of structural response, reliability of disaster prevention structure and environmental isoline method to determine adverse load combination, and prospects the future research emphases and directions.
