For the above collapse input fi le, the analysis is performed for a load sequence wherein, first the
entire gravity load (BAS1) is applied followed by the ship impact (IMP3), which is followed by a
wave (WAVE). The energy is first applied in ENERGY line which is overridden on the IMPACT
line. Unloading of structure is allowed for ship impact. No Ship Indentation curve is specified.

Incremental load factor by which the force of 100kN applied at the impacted joint on the SACINP
fi le shall be multiplied is calculated as= (20. - 0.0)/10 = 2.0.
Thus the force is incremented by 100*2 = 200kN for each load step, starting with zero.

3.6 POST PROCESSING

3.6.1 OUTPUT REPORTS

Output reports including joint deflections, joint reactions, member internal loads and
stresses, collapse summary and member summary reports are available. Salient features
of the output reports are discussed below

Collapse Summary Report

The collapse solution summary report contains the load case, load factor, force
summation, and maximum displacement and rotation for each load increment.

• Member Summary Report

This report contains the plastic member summary report including the plasticity ratio and
member internal loading for each load increment.

• Joint Failure Report

SACS carries out joint strength check based on API RP 2A-LRFD recommendations.
Joints exceeding the joint check criterion are reported.

Additionally SACS creates analysis results file that is read by Collapse view program . It is
thus possible to view coloured plots of the plasticity levels of the elements in the structure
at each event. A typical plot obtained after complete load sequence for an impact scenario
on a brace is presented on the following page. Also the event history and pile capacity
report can be obtained from the collapse view.

It is to be noted th at from collapse analysis it is not possible to perform a code unity check
on members that remain elastic. If desired only a post damage static/PSI analysis with the
plasticized members and braces corresponding to joint failures removed (Modulus of
elasticity given a very small value), can be performed with appropriate increase in
allowable stresses.

If prescribed displacement had been used for collapse analysis, then Collapse view can
report the plots of total work versus force/deflection at a joint for a load sequence. Plastic
members and joints are reported in the event history report.

Typical plots for a loading sequence are presented below. From the graph(s) the
force/deflection corresponding to an energy absorbed by the system can be found out.

3.6.2 POST- IMPACT ASSESSMENT

As demonstrated the SACS collapse module now allows for the removal of the impact
loading and application of the appropriate envi ronmental loading for a post impact
assessment. Thus for a post impact assessment performed within the SACS collapse
module it possible to retain the residual stresses and have a true representation of the
actual stiffness of damaged members or joints in the post-impact assessment.

Alternatively, if required a post impact Static/PSI analysis may be performed by removing

the fully plasticised members and the braces corresponding to the failed joints for the
appropriate environmental loading and appropriate increased stress criteria. However it
may be noted that the locked elasto-plastic stresses are lost and the true representation of
actual stiffness of the damaged members or joints cannot be simulated .

1) SACS is currently working on provisions to conduct a code check with the

locked in stresses fully accounted for within the Collapse Module.

4. PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE (PUSHOVER)

4.1 OVERVIEW

Proper Structural design is based on maintaining member stresses within certain allowable
limits for the selected maximum design event. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the
structure has proper redundancy and reserve strength to prevent catastrophic failure or
collapse if the selected design event is exceeded.

The Progressive Collapse (Pushover) Analysis is a methodology to make an assessment

of reserve strength of the structure by subjecting it to the loads beyond its design
conditions till the structure collapses. The progressive collapse analysis is basically an
inelastic static pushover analysis to evaluate the ultimate strength of a platform. Pushover
analysis is performed to demonstrate that the platform has adequate strength and stability
to withstand the damage or increased loading with local overstress and damage allowed,
but without collapse.

As per API RP 2A, the Reserve Strength Ratio (RSR) is used as a check of ultimate
strength. RSR is defined as the ratio of a platform's ultimate load carrying capacity to its
100-year environmental condition lateral loading.

4.2 ANALYSIS CONSIDERATIONS

The 'Plastic Collapse' mode of assessment offers an improved design concept over linear
'Elastic' theory for analysis/reanalysis of structures. The basic concept of the Plastic
Collapse Analysis is as follows:

The load is applied to the structure incrementally. The nodal displacements and element
forces are calculated for each load step and the stiffness matrix is updated. When the
stress in a member reaches the yield stress plasticity is introduced . The introduction of
plasticity reduces the stiffness of the structure and additional loads due to subsequent load
increments will be redistributed to the members adjacent to th e members that have gone
plastic. The phenomenon (progressive collapse of members) will continue until the
structure as a whole will collapse or is 'Pushed Over' .

For large offshore structures the analysis can be highly CPU intensive since each element
is subdivided into eight sub segments and for tubular elements each sub-segment is
further divided into 12 sub-elements around the circumference. Collapse run time can be
decreased by modeling parts of the structure which have little or no contribution to the
overall stiffness of the structure (such as boat landings) as dummy structures. All elements
contained in a dummy structure are removed by SEASTATE module and the loads on the
dummy structures are transferred to the main structure before the collapse analysis is
initiated. Elements whose stiffness may be of significance to the overall behavior of the

COLLAPSE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE 20 I 28

structure but which are not structurally important (such as conductors and conductor
guides, wishbone elements, topside elements ... etc.) should be kept elastic throughout the
loading history.

Further cutbacks in run time can be achieved by pre-combining loads wherever possible to
cut down the number of loads in a sequence. Also, a structure undergoing high level of
nonlinear behavior can result in an increased number of iterations for the solution to
converge. In such cases, it is better to reduce the step size than to increase the maximum
iteration limit. Reducing the step size effectively linearizes the problem and results in
decrease in the number of iterations.

4.3 ANALYSIS STEPS

The steps to be followed to carry out the Pushover analysis are outlined below:
1. Perform linear static/PSI analysis with pile soil interaction to identify the critical 100-
year wave directions. Normally at least three critical wave directions need to be
selected.

2. Modify the SACS inplace model by

• Skipping non-relevant member groups and plates.

• Arranging gravity loads in one load combination and the environmental loads in
other load combination.

3. Run SEASTATE with the modified model file to convert the load combinations to
basic load cases on SEAOC I file.

4. Perform collapse analysis of the platform for the critical wave directions with all
members intact (w/o member removal scenario) to determine Reserve Strength Ratio
(RSR) for the platform . RSR is defined as the load factor applied to the design
environmental load prior to collapse or prior to obtaining maximum
displacement. Overall RSR is the lowest reserve strength ratio for all directions
considered.

5. Additionally if specified as a part client requirement, from the collapse analysis

results carried out for intact condition, an overall ranking of member criticality is
created. If all the members can't be ranked from the pushover analysis, remaining
members can be ranked as per inplace analysis. This ranking can be used to select
appropriate members for removal scenarios. The structural braces can be grouped
according to similar geometry and platform symmetry. The members with high
criticality in each group can be identified fo r removal in preference to less critical
ones.

6. Perform pushover analysis of the platform with ONE MEMBER removed, to

determine the Damaged Reserve Strength Ratio (RSR0 ) for TH E STRUCTURE. The
modulus of elasticity (E) for the member removed is given as 0 and is skipped from
the stress calculations, in the SACS model file.

7. Repeat the above step for all the critical wave directions.

8. Tabulate RSR 0 values for the platform.

9. The ratio of RSR0 /RSR for a particular direction wave provides a direct measure of
the degradation in capacity of the damaged structure relative to the undamaged
structure.

10. Normally if RSR 0 /RSR is close to unity and/or if RSRo is greater than 1.5 (or so), then
a relatively low inspection frequency can be employed (particularly for High
Consequence/Unmanned installations). If these criteria are not satisfied, the
inspection frequency is set taking into account probability of member severance.

1. Analysis steps 5 to 10 need to be performed only if s pecified as a part of

client requirement to identify the platform critical members.

2. The assessment criteria as per API RP 2A, Table 17.5.2b is reproduced here
for easy reference.

4.4 SACS INPUT FILES FOR PUSHOVER ANALYSIS

Progressive collapse (Pushover) analysis both for Intact and Member removal scenarios
requires two input files namely,

1. Model Input File.

2. Collapse Analysis Input File.

4.4.1 SACS MODEL INPUT FILE (SACINP)

The following describe the changes that will be required to a standard SACS/PSI inplace
model file to carry out a Progressive Collapse (Pushover) analysis.
1. Retain the gravity load cases and the identified critical 100-year environmental wave
load cases in the inplace model file. All gravity load cases should be combined into
one single load combination and to be output as one single load case on SEAOCI file
from a SEASTATE run . Environmental loading to be specified as separate basic load
cases for each direction.

Following is a model of a platform and input file that has been used to perform pushover
analysis.

COLLAPSE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE 26 / 28

4.4.2 COLLAPSE INPUT FILE FOR PUSHOVER ANALYSIS (CLPINP)

Collapse analysis requires a collapse input file (CLPINP), wherein the loading sequence on
the structure is to be defined along with other options and data. It is important to note that
the structure is first loaded with the gravity loads followed by environmental load and then
followed by incremental environmental load till the time the structure collapses.

The criterion for collapse is either when the structure collapses as a whole or reaches a
specified maximum displacement limit.

Each loading sequence defines a set of load steps that will be applied in the sequence. A
load step defines the SACS basic load case to be applied, the initial load case factor and
the final load case factor. For each load step, the magnitude of each load increment is
constant and is determined as:

r (End Factor - Begin Factor)

Load 1ncrement= ....:..__ _ _ _ _____:::_ __ ____:_
Number of Increments

A sample CLPINP file for pushover analysis is presented below with explanations.

4.5 POST PROCESSING

4.5.1 OUTPUT REPORTS

Output reports including joint deflections, joint reactions, member internal loads and
stresses, collapse summary, pile detail report, pile head summary and member summary
reports are available. Salient features of the output reports are discussed below.

Collapse Summary Report

The collapse solution summary report contains the load case, load factor, force
summation, and maximum displacement and rotation for each load increment.

Member Summary Report

This report contains the plastic member summary report including the plasticity ratio and
member internal loading for each load increment.

Joint Failure Report

SACS carries out joint strength check based on API RP 2A-LRFD recommendations.
Joints exceeding the joint check criterion are reported.

Pile Detail Report

This report contains the deflections and rotations, elastic internal loads and plastic ratio
along the length of the pile.

• Pile Head Summary Report

This report contains deflection and rotations, forces and moments and axial capacity ratio
at pile head.

Additionally SACS creates analysis results file that is read by Collapse view program . It is
thus possible to view coloured plots of the plasticity levels of the elements in the structure
at each event. The event history and pile capacity report can be obtained from the collapse
view. The event history report helps identify the structure failure sequence. Graphs can
also be plotted in collapse view. Typically graphs for Load Factor or Load step versus joint
X or Y displacement for a particular joint may be plotted.
