Description
Summary:The platform for the present offshore structure off the coast of Sarawak was designed for fifteen conductors. However, due to the increase in the demand for petroleum, an additional three conductors was required. This will make the total number of conductors to be eighteen. Due to the increase in the number of conductors, a reanalysis of the whole structure was needed to ascertain its integrity and strength. In this report, the structure was reanalysed as a space frame structure. For the space frame structural analysis, a software called LUSAS was used. It is a general purpose finite element computer system designed to solve a comprehensive range of engineering problems. A general description of the software can be found in chapter 3.0.
