The probability distribution of extreme wave load on space frame ocean structures

OSTI ID:449660
The authors investigate different methods for calculating probability distributions of wave loads on fixed jacket structures. The first method is based on transformation of variables between crest elevation and wave force; the second is a first order reliability study in discrete components of the directional power spectrum of the ocean surface. Both approaches are simplified by representing the structure as a set of vertical columns and the wave kinematics by stretched linear theories. The methods are tested against time domain simulations of loads generated by random directional wave force models and against measured loads on a North Sea jacket.
