... To ensure safety of offshore platform, codes and rules are made for the planning, design and construction of offshore platforms by API, DNV, etc. Besides conventional deterministic rules, API have developed LRFD rules for design of jackets (API RP2A, 1993). API RP2A code is widely used in offshore oil...

... in 1993 as draft section of API RP2A. Structures installed some time ago have been designed to codes and standards, for which the design requirements may have since changed as a result of more data becoming available. Examples are given for both the static and fatigue strength of tubular joints. Other...
