Reliability of the Offshore Jacket Platform Based on Load Combination

Article Preview

Abstract:

Offshore jacket platforms under complicated and changeful ocean environments are subjected to various stochastic actions such as actions of wave, current, wind, ice, earthquake and their combinations. This paper presented the approach to calibrate of the reliability of the offshore jacket platform, and suggested all kinds of associated load cases. The combination of loads were mainly investigated. As an example, the reliability of offshore jacket platform of QK18-1 in Bohai Bay was verified. The result shows that the reliability of the offshore jacket platform related to 25-year reference period is between 2.7 and 3.39, which is close to the conclusion of some existing researches. This method would be used more widely for the design of offshore jacket platforms.
