Write short notes on the following highlighting the major differences and their applicability to different situations. a, Template Type Platforms b. Compliant structures 5 Marks 2. Design external rings for bouynacy tank of 2.2m diameter with a wall thickness of 10mm to be installed at design water depth of 120m. The material of construction is ASTM A36, The initial unsupported length shall be taken as 20m and the rings shall be designed without flanges. 10 Marks 3. Calculate safe axial load that can be carried by the jacket leg of diameter 1524mm and wall thickness of S0mm with yeild strength of 345 MPa. ‘The bending moment acting on the leg is 200 Tonne.m. The unsupported length is 15m. The effective length factor K and moment reduction factors Cm shall be taken as 1.0. 10 Marks Calculation of allowable Bending Stress ‘The allowable bending stress, F), should be determined from: Fy = 0.75 Fy to Fst (3.23-La) 10,340 sy Units) F,~[ost—1.74 ED Te, for a << ca (23-10) (4 40 < 20,680 st Unuts) lof 3Calculation of Allowable Axial Stress The allowable axial compressive stress, Fy. should be determined from the following AISC formulas for members with a D/t ratio equal to or less than 60: for Kr< Co (3.2.21) 12 VE Spy for Kr > Cy (3.2.2-1) 2(KU/ ry F, Roca C= zy E = Young's Mociulus of elasticity, ksi (MPa), K = effective length factor, Section 3.3.14, 1 = unbraced length. in.
