Descripción
Jacket structures act as base for offshore platforms which are used to extract hydrocarbon from oceans and seas and they are generally suitable for shallow and intermediate water depths (<150 m). Effective utilization of component, joint and overall system of jacket platform is achieved by taking into consideration the uncertainty of material and load. The randomness with respect to load and uncertainty in structural material requires stochastic-probabilistic methods for the analysis. The design uncertainties need to be taken into consideration, when dealing with a balance between safety of structures purpose and its cost. In this research, statistical Resistance uncertainty of geometric and material variables for Jacket platforms is determined.
