DETERMINATIONOFSEISMICFORTIFICATIONLEVELFORLEVELFOROFFSHOREPLATFORM3.

DeterminationofdesignruleBasedontheanalysisofengineeringseismicproblemsoftheoffshoreplatforminabovesection,seismicfortificationforplatformmayhaveananalogywithsomespecialstructureinland,suchasTVtransmissiontower,oversizebridge,greatdamandsoon.
Referringtotheseismicfortificationexperiencesofrelatedengineering,thefollowingfactorsshouldbetakenintoconsiderationinthedeterminationoftheseismicfortificationofplatform.
(1)TomeettheChineseandforeigncurrentcodePresently,inordertofittothedevelopingtrendofinternationalanti-seismictechnology,theseismicdesignThe14thWorldConferenceonEarthquakeEngineeringOctober12-17,2008,Beijing,China5thinkingistransferringfromsafetyfactortoreliabilitydesigninChina.
Sotheseismicfortificationlevelbasedonprobabilityisneededtomeetthedemandofreliabilitydesign.
(2)Considerationoffortificationclassificationandmultiple-stagedesignReliabilitydesignmakesthestructuretomeetthedemandofspecificultimatestatebycontrollingthemajorconditions.
AccordingtoactualengineeringstructuredesigninChina,theultimatestatemaybedividedintothreestates:serviceabilitylimit,ultimatecarryingcapacity,andultimatedeformation.
Theengineeringstructuredesignismadeaccordingtocarryingcapacityforeachstate,andtheseismicfortificationisgivenbasedonthedifferentultimatecarryingcapacity.

2Determinationofseismicfortificationlevelforoffshoreplatform(1)DesignreferenceperiodDesignreferenceperiodliesonthelifespanoffacilities.
Becausethedurationofexploitationofoceanoil(gas)isabout30years,asuitabledesignreferenceperiodofoffshoreplatformis30years.
(2)SeismicfortificationgoalThedestructivestateofplatformisdividedintotworanks:thenon-importantdestructionstateandthelocalcollapsestate.
Hereby,consideringtheexistingdesignrule,theseismicfortificationgoalforoffshoreplatformisdeterminedaccordingtotwolevelsduetofrequentandrareearthquakesduringthelifespan.
Thefrequentearthquakelevelmeetsthestrengthrequirements,thatis,toprovideresistancetofrequentlyencounteredearthquakeswithoutsignificantstructuraldamage,theplatformmaintainserviceability,orcanberepaired.
Therareearthquakeistheinputfordeformationdesign,structuraldamageislikelytooccur,buttheprovisionsareintendedtopreventcollapseofthewholestructure,nolifelossandsignificantenvironmentpollutionisallowedatthislevel.
(3)Thefrequent-earthquakelevelThe14thWorldConferenceonEarthquakeEngineeringOctober12-17,2008,Beijing,China6Thefrequentearthquakescorrespondtoearthquakeforcesunderserviceabilitylimitdesignstate.
Forcommonconstructandstructure(theclassC),thedesignreferenceperiodis50years,thefrequentearthquakeleveltakes63%probabilitiesofexceedancein50years,correspondingtoareturnperiodof50years.
Offshoreplatformisanimportantengineeringstructure,consequentlytheseismicfortificationlevelshouldbehigherthanthatforcommonconstructandstructure.
AccordingtotherecommendedvalueforSouthernCaliforniainRP2A-WSD,thestrengthdesignlevelforoffshoreplatformisareturnperiodof200years,correspondingto14%probabilitiesofexceedancein30years.
Theintensityatfrequent-earthquakelevelforcommonstructuresis1/3ofmediumearthquakes(returnperiod475years).
Accordingtostatisticof128resultsofseismicsafetyassessmentthroughoutthewholecountry,earthquakeforcesatreturnperiodof200yearsis2/3ofreturnperiodof475years,therefore,thefrequent-earthquakelevelforoffshoreplatformtakesareturnperiodof200years,whichcorrespondsto2timesthestrengthatthefrequent-earthquakelevelforclassCstructuresandisequivalenttothatforclassAstructures.
(4)TherareintenseearthquakelevelTherareintenseearthquakescorrespondtoearthquakeforcesinutmostdeformationdesign.
Inthedesignreferenceperiodofplatform,thestructuresuffersfromsuchearthquakeforcesbyaccident,thestructureislikelytoincurthebiggestdeformation,butcankeepoverallstabilitywithoutcollapse.
Thelevelofrareintenseearthquaketakes2~3%probabilityofexceedancein50yearsforclassCstructures,correspondingtoareturnperiodof1500to2500years,thatforclassAstructurestakes2~3%in100years,correspondingtoareturnperiodof3000to5000years.
Usuallythedesignreferenceperiodofoffshoreplatformsis30years,becausethedamageofplatformsmaycausegreateconomiclossandenvironmentpollution,itisappropriatethatthedeformationdesignleveltakes1%in30years,correspondingtoareturnperiodof3000,whichisalreadyhigherthanthatforclassAstructuresandapproximatestotheupperlimitinRP2A-WSD.

DeterminationofdesignruleBasedontheanalysisofengineeringseismicproblemsoftheoffshoreplatforminabovesection,seismicfortificationforplatformmayhaveananalogywithsomespecialstructureinland,suchasTVtransmissiontower,oversizebridge,greatdamandsoon.
Referringtotheseismicfortificationexperiencesofrelatedengineering,thefollowingfactorsshouldbetakenintoconsiderationinthedeterminationoftheseismicfortificationofplatform.

Sotheseismicfortificationlevelbasedonprobabilityisneededtomeetthedemandofreliabilitydesign.
(2)Considerationoffortificationclassificationandmultiple-stagedesignReliabilitydesignmakesthestructuretomeetthedemandofspecificultimatestatebycontrollingthemajorconditions.
AccordingtoactualengineeringstructuredesigninChina,theultimatestatemaybedividedintothreestates:serviceabilitylimit,ultimatecarryingcapacity,andultimatedeformation.
Theengineeringstructuredesignismadeaccordingtocarryingcapacityforeachstate,andtheseismicfortificationisgivenbasedonthedifferentultimatecarryingcapacity.

Becausethedurationofexploitationofoceanoil(gas)isabout30years,asuitabledesignreferenceperiodofoffshoreplatformis30years.
(2)SeismicfortificationgoalThedestructivestateofplatformisdividedintotworanks:thenon-importantdestructionstateandthelocalcollapsestate.
Hereby,consideringtheexistingdesignrule,theseismicfortificationgoalforoffshoreplatformisdeterminedaccordingtotwolevelsduetofrequentandrareearthquakesduringthelifespan.
Thefrequentearthquakelevelmeetsthestrengthrequirements,thatis,toprovideresistancetofrequentlyencounteredearthquakeswithoutsignificantstructuraldamage,theplatformmaintainserviceability,orcanberepaired.
Therareearthquakeistheinputfordeformationdesign,structuraldamageislikelytooccur,buttheprovisionsareintendedtopreventcollapseofthewholestructure,nolifelossandsignificantenvironmentpollutionisallowedatthislevel.
(3)Thefrequent-earthquakelevelThe14thWorldConferenceonEarthquakeEngineeringOctober12-17,2008,Beijing,China6Thefrequentearthquakescorrespondtoearthquakeforcesunderserviceabilitylimitdesignstate.
Forcommonconstructandstructure(theclassC),thedesignreferenceperiodis50years,thefrequentearthquakeleveltakes63%probabilitiesofexceedancein50years,correspondingtoareturnperiodof50years.
Offshoreplatformisanimportantengineeringstructure,consequentlytheseismicfortificationlevelshouldbehigherthanthatforcommonconstructandstructure.
AccordingtotherecommendedvalueforSouthernCaliforniainRP2A-WSD,thestrengthdesignlevelforoffshoreplatformisareturnperiodof200years,correspondingto14%probabilitiesofexceedancein30years.
Theintensityatfrequent-earthquakelevelforcommonstructuresis1/3ofmediumearthquakes(returnperiod475years).
Accordingtostatisticof128resultsofseismicsafetyassessmentthroughoutthewholecountry,earthquakeforcesatreturnperiodof200yearsis2/3ofreturnperiodof475years,therefore,thefrequent-earthquakelevelforoffshoreplatformtakesareturnperiodof200years,whichcorrespondsto2timesthestrengthatthefrequent-earthquakelevelforclassCstructuresandisequivalenttothatforclassAstructures.

Inthedesignreferenceperiodofplatform,thestructuresuffersfromsuchearthquakeforcesbyaccident,thestructureislikelytoincurthebiggestdeformation,butcankeepoverallstabilitywithoutcollapse.
Thelevelofrareintenseearthquaketakes2~3%probabilityofexceedancein50yearsforclassCstructures,correspondingtoareturnperiodof1500to2500years,thatforclassAstructurestakes2~3%in100years,correspondingtoareturnperiodof3000to5000years.
