SEISMIC ANALYSIS
In-Place Analysis
In-place analysis is performed to determine the MOST
adverse effects that occur in the strcture members and piles
for operational and storm environmental events
Operatinal platform deck loads are combined with the
environmental loads to form directional load combination
that are applied to the global structure
Loads considerations
– All directional opearating environmental loads combined with
topside loading
– All directional storm environmental oads combined with topside
loading
In-place analysis covers:
– Modal analysis
– In-place operating (1-year return) condition
– In-place storm (100-year return) condition
Method of Analysis
Structural analyses comprise of static linear analyses
of a 3-D space frame computer model
Pile connections to mudline is pilehead
Several combinations of the elementary loads are
considered in order to determine the worst case
scenario for each member and to size accordingly
Member and joints stress checking is performed
according to the AISC 9th ed and API RP 2 A WSD
or relevant standards

Environmental Loads
– Environmental loads consist of wave, current and wind loads
assumed to act simultaneously in the same direction.
– In general eight wave incidences are selected; for each the
position of the crest relative to the platform must be
established such that the maximum overturning moment
and/or shear are produced at the mudline.
Loading Combinations
– The static in-place analysis is performed under different
conditions where the loads are approximated by their pseudo-
static equivalent.
– The basic loads relevant to a given condition are multiplied by
the appropriate load factors and combined to produce the
most severe effect in each individual element of the structure.
Load Generation
Load categories:
– Functional Load
Due to operational function of the structures
– Installation loads

SEISMIC ANALYSIS
Earthquakes
Two levels of earthquake intensity:
– strength level (SLE)
– ductility level (DLE)/ rare intense earthquake (REI) .
SLE: reasonable likelihood of not being exceeded
during the platform's life (mean recurrence interval ~
200 - 500 years), the structure is designed to respond
elastically.
DLE/ REI : maximum credible earthquake at the site,
the structure is designed for inelastic response and to
have adequate reserve strength to avoid collapse.
API-RP2A recommends: X, Y, 0.5 Z
DNV rules: 0,7X, O,7 Y and 0,5 Z
The value of a max and often the spectral shapes are
determined by site specific seismological studies. 391
Procedures of Seismic/ earthquake Analysis
The scope of earthquake design is to check the adequacy of
the jacket, topsides, piles, pile capacity and joint can
thickness as per API RP 2A WSD
The dynamic analysis including modal analysis is to
determine the natural modes of vibration of the structure
and the associated periods. Of particular importance in
determining the natural period is the stiffness of the
structure (and its foundations) and the mass distribution
over the structure.
A uniform modal damping will be used to compute the
earthquake forces.
The platform in-place model will be used and no wind or
wave loading will be considered along with earthquake
design.
The 100% open live load as per in-place analysis for the
operating (1year) storm condition is to be considered in the
earthquake design.
The design water depth shall be considered based on MSL.
The pile/soil interaction is represented by a separate
stiffness matrix
Modal response shall be combined using the complete
quadratic combination method (CQC) and thereafter,
directional responses shall be combined using the square
root of the sum of squares (SRSS) method.
