Research Abstract

In this project, experiments on a model platform subjected to impact loads from bottom were carried out in regular waves. Theoretical analyses in time domain were also performed using newly developed analytical model where a main structure is treated as a rigid body and legs as elastic ones. From the both results on model platform, the good applicability of the anlytical model was made clear. simultaneously, the following basic characteristics of the behavior of plat- form, vertical impact forces on leg-end and bending moments on leg-top at colli- sion were obtained;
(1) vertical impact loads on weather side are much larger than those on lee side.
(2) The legs on weather side are first subjected to vertical impact loads, and secondary to bending moments resulting from pitching rotation and acceleration of platform to lee side due to vertical impact loads.
(3) Vertical impact loads are approximately proportional to the square root of bottom stiffness. Bending moment on leg-top are not much influenced by bottom stiffness.
(4) Vertical impact loads can be accurately estimated by simplified calculation based on energy concept, which means the decrease of kinematic and potential energy of platfgorm before collision are absorbed by soil.
(5) Vertical impact loads become maximum near the resonance wave period of roll/pitch motion of platform.
The response of the proto-type platform at collision are also analyzed, and it becomes clear that vertical impact loads have more effects for the structural safety of jacking unit comparing with bending moment on leg-top. Finally, the safgety criteria for installation and retrieval operation of platform based on an allowable strength of jacking pinion is presented in the form of critical wave height.
