Theoretical Analysis of Seismic Response for Marine Drilling Risers

Abstract:

With the continuous development of the marine oil industry, risers have become necessary equipment in offshore drilling engineering. On the basis of mode-superposition response spectrum method which is used commonly in anti-seismic design, the seismic responses of the marine drilling riser is analyzed on the theoretical and the related anti-seismic calculation formulas of the discrete system are promoted to the continuous system. The earthquake force and the resultant internal forces when the earthquake happening are analyzed and calculated. The calculation formulas of shear force and bending moment for each cross section of a riser under the earthquake action are deduced, which can offers some theoretical reference for riser engineering design when considering earthquake action.
