SEISMIC ANALYSIS ON SACS

OFFSHORE STRUCTURE II
INTRODUCTIONS INTRODUCTION

• The area that seismically actives should consider possibility of loads due
to ground motions.
• An evaluation from the specific site survey and study shall be taken by
care to determine the intensity and characteristic of ground motions
(seismic activity).
• The area which have strength level of ground acceleration in horizontal
direction is less than 0.05g, the earthquake analysis can be negligible.
• In this area, the environmental loads in storm condition gives more
significant impact than the earthquake, thus by performing inplace
analysis the structural strength requirements fulfills the potential effects
from seismically active zone.
• For the area which have ground motion acceleration in between 0.05g to
0.10g, the structural member shall comply with all requirements of
earthquake analysis.
INTRODUCTIONS INTRODUCTION

The method of this analysis using Engineering Dynamic Inc. SACS Program has
been used to determine the structure’s Natural Period. The resulting Mode
Shapes and Mass Matrix are used in the Response Analysis. The Response
Analysis generates all the loads for the Seismic Analysis.
Earthquake load consist of two analysis, e.g.:
• Strength Level Earthquake (SLE) – 100 years event
• Ductility/Rare Level Earthquake (DLE/RLE) – 800 years event
The differences are the value of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and Pseudo
Spectrum Velocity (PSV).
INTRODUCTIONS SLE

• The strength level earthquake determines a ground motion which has a

reasonable likelihood of not being exceeded at the site during the
platform life.
• The structure should have sufficient capacity to restrain earthquake loads
without any major failure.
• Special study is needed to decide whether the rare intense earthquake
should be considered in the analysis.
INTRODUCTIONS DLE/RLE

• Furthermore, to ensure the integrity of the platform, the structure should

be considered for Rare Intense Earthquake load conditions.
• In this analysis the structure is analyzed to meet ductility requirements.
• The platform should have sufficient reserve capacity to prevent the
structure collapse during rare intense earthquake motions, although
structural damage may occur.
INTRODUCTIONS PLATFORM CONDITIONS

• Based on API RP 2A, if the structural has dynamic characteristic of

braced, pile supported steel structures, the critical damping of 5% should
be used for an elastic analysis.
• Earthquake loading should be combined with other simultaneous loading
such as gravity, buoyancy, and hydrostatic pressure.
• For the strength requirement, the basic allowable stresses for pile
members are increased by 70%.
• Minimum safety factor of pile for SLE = 1.50 and DLE = 1.00
• The joints design for the jacket should meet the design requirement using
twice the strength level seismic load.
INTRODUCTIONS Notes

• No ductility requirement is required for 8 or more legs jacket platform for

the ground motion acceleration motion less than 2g.
• All non-tubular connection shall also meet the design requirement using
twice the strength level seismic load.
• P-delta effect on the pile foundation should be considered.
• Load Factor in direction: E = +/- 100% of X-dir. +/- 100% of Y-dir. +/- 50%
of Z-dir.

RESPONSE SPECTRUM CHART FOR SEISMIC (API RP2A)
INTRODUCTIONS Analysis Overview

The seismic analysis is divided into two iterations and basically involving
three types of analysis, as follows:
• Free vibration analysis – to obtain the natural period,
• Dynamic response analysis – to obtain the seismic load and combine with
static load,
• Dynamic response assessment – for member and joint check,
• Dynamic response assessment – for pile’s factor of safety and member
check.
