RESPONSE AND STRENGTH ANALYSIS OF JACK-UP PLATFORMS

The paper deals with design criteria for jack-up platforms. Based on simple descriptions of the environmental conditions, methods for analysis of loads and platform response are described. General methods are mentioned, but the emphasis is on simple methods which may be suitable for feasibility studies, concept evaluations and general pammetric studies. Strength criteria are discussed, with particular reference to those which are relevant to the strength analysis of jack-up platforms. A simplified method for fatigue damage is described in an Appendix.
