Wave & Current Forces

The design wave shall be treated as a regular wave and appropriate wave theory as
per API-RP 2A shall be used to compute water particle kinematics, using apparent

to water depth equal to still water level. For any other water level at different points
along the wave, the velocities shall be calculated based on linear stretching of the
current profile. Morison's equation applied to only the normal components of
velocity and acceleration shall be used to compute normal wave forces on the
individual members. The coefficients of drag and mass (inertia), CD and CM shall be

beams shall be modeled to incorporate in-plane shear restraint.
The storm load analysis shall be conducted for a minimum of eight storm approach
angles each for combination No.1, No.2 and No.3. Critical storm approach angles
shall be selected so as to result in maximum tension/compression in various piles.
In case the selected wave approach direction is within + 10 degrees of the standard
wave approach directions for which the environmental data has been furnished,
such data shall be directly used for the selected wave approach direction. For other
cases, the data shall be linearly interpolated between the two adjacent directions for
which data has been furnished. Earthquake forces wherever applicable shall be
taken as occurring in both the direction (simultaneously).
Stiffness of boat landing, barge bumper, risers, conductors, caissons, mudmat etc
shall be ignored during analysis & design. However dead weight and environmental
forces on all of above shall be considered in analysis and design of Jacket.
Still water depth shall be taken as (CD) + (LAT) + (50% of Astronomical Tide) +
(Storm Surge) for Storm Environment. For Earthquake Condition still water level

Fatigue Design
A) General
The tubular joints of the platforms subjected to repetition of stress due to the
cyclic nature of wave loading shall be analyzed for fatigue endurance in
accordance with API-RP 2A. A deterministic fatigue analysis using PalmgrenMiners hypothesis of linear cumulative damage shall be used to predict the
fatigue lives of structural connections.
B) Fatigue Life
The in-service fatigue design life of the joints shall be at least two times the
service life of the platform except for the joints at second framing level from the
top, where the design fatigue life shall be four times the service life of the
platform.
C) Loading
i) The environmental parameters to be used for computing the wave loading in
the fatigue analysis shall be as given in Table-9 of Appendix-II. The 25
years wave exceedance diagram for eight directions shall be as given in
Table-10 of Appendix-II.
ii) Still water depth for fatigue analysis shall be taken as (CD) + (LAT) + half
the Astronomical Tide as given in Table-6 of Appendix-II.
iii) Wave forces shall be computed in accordance with the procedure described
in Cl. 3.4.3.5.4. However, current may be neglected, and therefore
considerations for apparent wave period and current blockage are not
required. In addition, wave kinematics factor equal to 1.0 and conductor
shielding factor equal to 1.0 shall be applied to fatigue waves. The
coefficient of drag and mass shall be taken as 0.5 and 2.0 for smooth
surfaces and 0.8 and 2.0 for rough surfaces. Marine growth shall be as
given in Table-4 of Appendix-II.
iv) All eight-wave directions shall be considered in the analysis. For each
direction a minimum of four wave heights shall be used to compute stress
range versus wave height relationship. The directions, wave heights and
exceedances selected shall be those closest to the directions indicated in
Table-9 & 10 of Appendix-II.
v) For estimation of the fatigue life, the 18 phase angles to be selected at
equal step of 20 degrees.
vi) Dynamic amplification effects shall be taken into account in calculation of the
wave loading where the period of the first mode of vibration of the structure
is less than 3 seconds. Detail Wave Response Analysis to be performed if
first mode is over 3 seconds.
vii) Where significant cyclic stresses may be induced by the action of wind,
wave slamming, changes in member buoyancy, etc. Such stresses shall be
combined with those due to wave action to obtain the total effective stress
spectrum for a particular member or joint.

Page 14 of 56
D) Analysis Procedure
i) The fatigue analysis shall be performed for all joints, which determine the
safety and reliability of all the steel work of the structure. Particular attention
shall be paid to joints in the top one-third of the jacket structure including
deck legs and bottom horizontal brace level.
ii) For each joint and type of failure under consideration the stress range
spectra shall be computed at a minimum of 8 positions around the joint
periphery to ensure that the point of maximum damage and hence lowest
fatigue life is considered. For computation of fatigue damage the stress
range versus wave height diagram for each wave approach direction shall
be divided into a minimum of 10 blocks and the damage computed for each
block shall be summed up.
iii) For each circular tubular joint two types of failure brace to weld failure and
chord to weld failure should be considered, using the appropriate stress
concentration factors.
iv) For joints other than those between tubular members, individual detailed
consideration shall be given with due regard being paid to published,
reliable experimental data.
E)
Stress Concentration Factors (SCF)

i) The hot spot stresses ranges at the joints on the brace and chord side of the
weld used to estimate the fatigue lives shall be determined from.
Hot spot stress range = FRa .SCFa +
Where FRa, FRi and FRo are the brace nominal axial, in-plane bending
and out-of-plane being stress ranges and SCFa, SCFi and SCFo are the
corresponding stress concentration factors for axial, in-plane bending and
out-of-plane bending stresses for the chord side or the brace side.
ii) The fatigue life on both the brace and chord side of the weld may be
calculated with one of the following methods for obtaining the SCF applied
to the brace nominal stresses:
a)
i) For K Joints
Formula proposed by J.G. Kuang et al Stress Concentration in
Tubular Joints (Society of Petroleum Engg. Aug. 1977).
ii) For T, Y and X Joints
Formula proposed by A.C. Wordsworth and G.P. Smedley Stress
concentration in Un-stiffened Tubular Joints select seminar on
European Offshore steel Research, November 1978.
b) Finite Element based formula proposed for K, T, Y & X joints by
Efthymiou may be used in lieu of those given in (a) and (b) above.
iii) Ring Stiffened Joints
In lieu of more accurate procedure for analysis these may be checked as
for simple joints but using modified chord thickness. The effect of ring
stiffeners is two fold:
a) An increase in area of the chord, which may be accounted for by
calculating the area of the chord shell plus stiffener and from this the
effective shell thickness, which by itself will give the same area.
b) An increase in the stiffness of the chord which may be accounted for by
calculating the moment of inertia of the chord shell plus stiffener and
from this the effective shell thickness, which by itself would give the
same moment of inertia.
For external ring-stiffened joints, a minimum stress concentration factor
of 6.0 shall be used in brace member as per API-RP2A.

The environmental conditions to be considered shall be based on an
average recurrence period of not less than ten years for the season of year
when the tow will take place.
iii) In order to obtain the maximum acceleration response, at least three sets of
periods shall be chosen for the maximum sea state for each direction of
approach depending upon the dynamic characteristics of the barge/structure
system and the towing speed of barge.
iv) A reduced wave height (less than the maximum)/period combination, if that
is likely to result in near resonant response conditions.
