Integrated foundation and structural reliability analysis of a North Sea structure

Conference ·
OSTI ID:128944
In cases where the reliability of fixed offshore structures in extreme storms is influenced by both structural and foundation failure, appropriate interpretation of foundation model prediction uncertainty becomes particularly important. To account for this type of uncertainty, a technique is introduced which can be incorporated into a structural reliability analysis to give confidence limits on reliability predictions and thus ensure correct interpretation of structural reliability. Application of the technique is demonstrated by considering a case study of a North Sea structure.
