Wind Loads

z acton the portion of a platform above the


water level
z The wind velocity profile (API-RP2A )
z Vh/VH = (h/H)1/n
z 1/n=1/13 to 1/7,
z depending on the sea state, the distance from land
and the averaging time interval.
z approximately = 1/13 for gusts and 1/8 for
sustained winds in the open ocean.
Wind loads

z Fw = (1/2) ρ V2 Cs A
z ρ : the wind density (ρ ~ 1.225 Kg/m3)
z Cs : the shape coefficient
z Cs = 1,5 for beams and sides of buildings,
z = 0,5 for cylindrical sections
z = 1,0 for total projected area of platform.
z Shieldingand solidity effects can be
accounted for
Wind loads
z combination with wave loads:
z DNV and DOE-OG rules recommend the most unfavorable of the
following two loadings:
z 1-minute sustained wind speeds combined with extreme waves.
z 3-second gusts.
z API-RP2A distinguishes between global and local wind load effects.
z first case: it gives guideline values of mean 1-hour average wind
speeds to be combined with extreme waves and current.
z second case: it gives values of extreme wind speeds to be used
without regard to waves.
z Wind loads are generally taken as static. When the ratio of height to the
least horizontal dimension of the wind exposed object (or structure) > 5,
then this object (or structure) could be wind sensitive.
z API-RP2A requires the dynamic effects of the wind to be taken into
account in this case and the flow induced cyclic wind loads due to vortex
shedding must be investigated.
DESIGN LOADS – WAVE & CURRENT LOADS

z Two different analysis concepts are used:


z Design/ regular wave concept:
z a regular wave of given height and period is defined and the forces due to this
wave are calculated using a high-order wave theory.
z Usually the 100-year wave is chosen.
z No dynamic behavior of the structure is considered. This static analysis is
appropriate when the dominant wave periods are well above the period of the
structure.
z This is the case of extreme storm waves acting on shallow water structures.
z Statistical analysis:
z on the basis of a wave scatter diagram for the location of the structure.
z Appropriate wave spectra are defined to perform the analysis in the frequency
domain and to generate random waves, if dynamic analyses for extreme
wave loadings are required for deepwater structures.
z With statistical methods, the most probable maximum force during the lifetime
of the structure is calculated using linear wave theory.
z The statistical approach has to be chosen to analyze the fatigue strength and
the dynamic behavior of the structure.
Wave Theories

•linear Airy theory,


•Stokes fifth-order theory
•solitary wave theory,
•cnoidal theory,
•Dean's stream function theory
•numerical theory by Chappelear.

DESIGN LOADS – WAVE & CURRENT LOADS

z Represented by their static equivalent using


Morisson’s equation
z For deep water: requires a load analysis involving the
dynamic action of the structure
z For global structure: ignored lift forces, slam forces,
and axial Froude-Krylov forces
z If D/L >0.2, use diffraction theory
z Total base shear and overturning moment are
calculated for global structure forces
z Local member stresses: due to local hydrodynamic
forces (incl. slam, lift, Froude-Krylov, buoyancy) and
loads transferred due to global fluid-dynamic force and
dynamic response of the structure
z CD ≈0,6 to 1,2 and CM ≈ 1,3 to 2,0.

FACTOR
Wave lift and slamming Loads

z Inaddition to the forces given by


Morison's equation, the lift forces FD and
the slamming forces FS, typically
neglected in global response
computations, can be important for local
member design.
z FL = (1/2) ρ CL Dv2
z FS = (1/2) ρ Cs Dv2

z CL ≈1,3 CD.
z Cs ≈ π Æ For tubular members
Earthquakes
z Two levels of earthquake intensity:
z strength level (SLE)

z ductility level (DLE).

z 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.
z DLE: maximum credible earthquake at the site, the structure is
designed for inelastic response and to have adequate reserve
strength to avoid collapse.
z API-RP2A recommends: X, Y, 0.5 Z
z DNV rules: 0,7X, O,7 Y and 0,5 Z
z The value of a max and often the spectral shapes are determined
by site specific seismological studies.
Ground acceleration
Design Spectra
Marine Growth
z Marine growth is accumulated on submerged
members.
z Its main effect is to increase the wave forces on the
members by increasing not only exposed areas and
volumes, but also the drag coefficient due to higher
surface roughness.
z It increases the unit mass of the member, resulting in
higher gravity loads and in lower member frequencies.
z Depending upon geographic location, the thickness of
marine growth can reach 0,3m or more.
z It is accounted for in design through appropriate
increases in the diameters and masses of the
submerged members.
Tides
z Tides affect the wave and current loads indirectly, i.e. through the
variation of the level of the sea surface.
z The tides are classified as: (a) astronomical tides - caused essentially
from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun and (b) storm surges -
caused by the combined action of wind and barometric pressure
differentials during a storm.
z The combined effect of the two types of tide is called the storm tide.
z The astronomical tide range depends on the geographic location and the
phase of the moon.
z Storm surges depend upon the return period considered and their range
is on the order of 1,0 to 3,0m.
z When designing a platform, extreme storm waves are superimposed on
the still water level
z while for design considerations such as levels for boat landing places,
barge fenders, upper limits of marine growth, etc., the dailyvariations of
the astronomical tide are used.
Tides
Seafloor Movements
z Scour:
z Removal of seafloor soil caused by currents and
waves
z Can result in removal of vertical and lateral support
for foundations
z Design condition scour depth ~ 3 ft

z Settlements
z Ground motion due to overstressing of foundation
elements
z Subsidence
z Ground motion due to failure of seafloor slope
