Study on Global Strength Calculation Method and Ultimate Strength Calculation Method of Key Structure of Semi-submersible Platforms

Based on ANSYS/AQWA software, a calculation method of the global strength of semi-submersible platforms was developed, adopting the progressive collapse anal- ysis method and finite element method to calculation the ultimate strength of key component and key joints of semi-submersible platforms. The typical semi-submersible platform was taken as calculation instance to calculate the global strength. The load cases for the calculation included drilling and survival, which contains 8 typical dangerous waves loads. The cross brace and stand column were selected as computational models to study their ultimate capacities, where stresses are maximum. The ultimate bearing capacities of key structures were given in this paper by determining the reasonable boundary conditions. Some conclusions were provided for reliable basis for the safety evaluation of the semi-submersible platform.
