STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF NORTH ADRIATIC FIXED OFFSHORE PLATFORM

The paper describes the strength of fixed offshore platform that is analyzed in order to determine its capability in withstanding the operating load with extreme environmental conditions. Critical conditions are taken into account, which include structure and equipment weight, operating load, wind load, hydrodynamic (wave & current) load using Morison equation. Stress analysis is performed by the finite element method. Structural joints which are subject to long-period survey are selected by stress level from SESAM result. Buckling of structural element is checked using API Recommended practice for Fixed Offshore Platforms-Working Stress Design and ABS MODU Rules.
