COMMENTARY ON THE GUIDE FOR BUCKLING AND ULTIMATE STRENGTH ASSESSMENT FOR OFFSHORE STRUCTURES

This Commentary provides the fundamental principles and technical background, including sources and additional details, for the ABS Guide for Buckling and Ultimate Strength Assessment for Offshore Structures, April 2004, which is referred to herein as “the ABS Buckling Guide”. The Commentary presents supplementary information to better explain the basis and intent of the criteria that are used in the ABS Buckling Guide. The accuracy for determining buckling and the ultimate strength predictions obtained from the application of the ABS Buckling Guide is established by the comparison of its results against a very extensive database of test results assembled by ABS and also from the results of nonlinear finite element analysis. Results obtained using the criteria in the ABS Buckling Guide are also compared against existing recognized offshore standards, such as the ABS MODU Rules, API RP 2A WSD, API Bulletins 2U and 2V, DnV CN30.1, and AISC LRFD [references 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 30].
