A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE DESIGN BASIS FOR COMPLEX TUBULAR JOINTS

The paper describes a comparative study of the design basis for ring-stiffened, cast steel and internal grouted tubular joints. The current levels of knowledge, design code provisions and future development requirements for these complex joints are identified. Considerations are given to structural performance, fabrication, in-service inspection, the level of confidence in design and the long term behaviour of different joint types.
