Analysis of Offshore Structure Having Different Bracing Pattern Using Sap2000

Neeta Chavhan, Prof.P. S. Bhalge, N. S. Vaidkar

Abstract


In this paper time-history analysis and some part of response spectrum analysis is performed on off shore steel structures (fixed jacket-type platforms) for El-Centro data. The effect of slope in bracing pattern at different angle 0 degree, 20 degree and 30 degree is studied for various loading condition and the effect bracings (single bracings, knee bracings, cross bracings) for different loading are also studied. For studying and analysing the structure FEA analysis software SAP2000 student version is used which observed very effective for analysis. This is different kind of analysis because here in this paper both time-history analysis and part response spectrum method is used.
