Abstract: The use of internal ring stiffeners in offshore steel jacket platforms is a subject of controversy because of their peculiar failure pattern, observed in several tests in the early 1980s. It is estimated that at least 2,000 ...

Abstract: Steel jacket platforms are widely used for production and processing of oil from offshore fields. Tubular joints of these structures are susceptible to fatigue or corrosion fatigue cracking due ...

Abstract: Welded tubular structures are widely used for offshore platforms. In India, there are more than 120 offshore platforms in the Bombay High region, all of which are jacket‐type structures consisting of welded tubular members. ...

Abstract: This paper reports experimental sizing of fatigue crack profiles that are initiated from artificially made circumferential starter notches in stainless steel pipes of 169mm outer diameter and ...

Abstract: In developing a one-dimensional analysis and design procedure for reinforced concrete structures, research is generally based on yield phenomena and the plastic flow of steel in tension and concrete in compression. The ...

Abstract: Corrosion fatigue is a complex phenomenon involving many variables. Welded‐steel tubular joints of offshore structures are subjected to corrosion fatigue due to the combined action of corrosive seawater environment and ...
