RISAmerican and European Hydrostatic Tubular Beam-Column Equation Comparisons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For structural design engineers, there is an apparent gap in how the hydrostatic pressure is treated between the American and European systems. In API RP-2A, the beam-column equations treat the axial and bending capacities ...
Ultimate Limit State Equations and Plasticity of Tubular Conical Transitions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Conical transitions have wide applications in wind turbine foundation as well as oil and gas jacket type of structures. The junctions where tubular and cone meet experience a sharp stress rise from shell edge effects. Like ...
Recommended Stress Formulae for Tubular Conical Transition Designs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For the design of tubular conical transitions, the axial, bending, and hoop stresses at the junctions are required. Among the offshore design standards, API RP-2A, ISO 19902, and NORSOK N-004, various equations exist for ...
K-Factor Solution for Combined Braced–Unbraced Offshore Jacket Frames
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many offshore jackets have no braces between the top of jacket and the bottom of topsides deck. This can be either due to the installation requirement and/or an effort to reduce wave loads. This kind of jacket bay is a ...
