ST4014 Design of Offshore Structures Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVE:
To impart knowledge about the concept of wave theories, forces, offshore foundation, analysis and design of jacket towers, pipes and cables.
UNIT I WAVE THEORIES
Wave generation process, small, finite amplitude and nonlinear wave theories.
UNIT II FORCES OF OFFSHORE STRUCTURES
Wind forces, wave forces on small bodies and large bodies – current forces – Morison equation.
UNIT III OFFSHORE SOIL AND STRUCTURE MODELLING
Different types of offshore structures, foundation modeling, fixed jacket platform structural modeling.
UNIT IV ANALYSIS OF OFFSHORE STRUCTURES
Static method of analysis, foundation analysis and dynamics of offshore structures.
UNIT V DESIGN OF OFFSHORE STRUCTURES
Design of platforms, helipads, Jacket tower, analysis and design of mooring cables and pipelines.
