RISReliability Characteristics of a Platform in the Mississippi River Delta
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In August 1995, the Energy Development Corporation installed a conventional drilling and production platform in South Pass Block 47. Due to its proximity to the delta of the Mississippi River, this platform is exposed to ...
Human and Organization Errors in Reliability of Offshore Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper addresses human and organization errors (HOE) in the context of quantitative reliability analyses (QRA) that are intended to help improve the quality of offshore structures. A ...
Reassessment and Requalification of Infrastructure: Application to Offshore Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A general four-tier reassessment and requalification engineering system is developed. The first-tier approach is the simplest. It is based on a qualitative scoring process. The fourth-tier approach is the most complex. It ...
Evaluation of Uncertainties in Loadings on Offshore Structures due to Extreme Environmental Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper summarizes results from a Canadian Standards Association (CSA) sponsored study of the uncertainties associated with extreme (1000 to 10,000-yr return periods) environmental loadings ...
Performance Shaping Factors in Reliability Analysis of Design of Offshore Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper summarizes development of a process that provides a link between a qualitative assessment and a quantitative probability analysis that can be used to help evaluate the reliability ...
Criteria for Design and Requalification of Platforms in the Bay of Campeche, Mexico
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Risk assessment and management based hurricane and earthquake criteria have been developed for design and requalification of Petroleos Mexicano platforms in the Bay of Campeche. Results from recent field tests were used ...
Reliability Based Earthquake Design Guidelines for Marine Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a reliability based formulation to determine earthquake LRFD parameters for conventional, steel, pile supported, tubular member platforms that is proposed as a basis for earthquake design criteria and ...
Nonlinear Performance of Offshore Platforms in Extreme Storm Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dynamic-transient loading effects from extreme storm waves can have important influences on the nonlinear ultimate limit state performance of fixed offshore platforms. Recorded and synthetic storm wave time histories have ...
Fatigue of Ship Critical Structural Details
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During the past six years, a joint government-industry-sponsored project titled Ship Structural Maintenance Project (SMP) has been conducted at the University of California at Berkeley. As part ...
Key Issues Associated With Development of Reassessment and Requalification Criteria for Platforms in the Bay of Campeche, Mexico
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Petroleos Mexicano (PEMEX) and Instituto Mexicano del Petroleo (IMP) have developed and issued Transitory Criteria for reassessment and requalification of platforms and pipelines in the Bay of ...
