Major computer analyses of steel offshore jacket templates sometimes suggest that certain structural tubular members are overstressed; however, the process of checking the bending and axial stresses by hand is tedious and time-consuming. TEL has thus prepared programs for the Hewlett-Packard HP-41C calculator that speedily perform such stress checks using the formulas of API RP2A, Section 2.5.2. The programs take advantage of the calculator's two major features - the alphanumeric peripheral printer and the prompting capability of the liquid crystal display (also alphanumeric). TEL has drawn up calculation forms to ensure that the computations performed by different engineers are uniform in method and presentation.
