Presently there are over 3,500 major offshore platforms in United States waters. A majority of these structures were designed for a 20-year life period, and are still in operation today after 30 and even 40 years of service. This paper discusses an ongoing research study on the evaluation of the residual strength and grout repair of dent-damaged offshore platform steel tubular bracing. This study is highly relevant to the rehabilitation and requalification of offshore platforms, since dent-damage due to dropped objects or vessel collisions is a common occurrence in these structures and shown to cause a reduction in member strength.
