objectives

 Experimentally visualize the dynamic response of complaint tower

using hydraulic flume.
 To determine to mode shapes of Complaint Tower platform and
natural frequencies.
Offshore Structures
Complaint offshore platform
 A complaint tower is fixed rig structure normally used for the
offshore production of oil and gas.
 The rig consists of narrow, flexible (compliant) towers and a piled
foundation supporting a conventional deck for drilling and
production operations.
Diagrammatic Representation
Complaint Tower Components
 Foundation pile.
 Jacks.
 Tower section.
 The deck.
Complaint Tower

 Complaint tower are made of several rigid steel section joined

together such that tower can sway under environmental loads.
 Depth up to 300m to 600m.
 Natural period varies between 20 sec to 50 sec
 They are four legged with or without guy wires.
Location selected
 The region selected for the offshore platform is bay of Bengal
region.
 The wave height is approximately ranges between 1.5m to 2 m.
 Wave period ranges between 4 sec to 9 sec.

Hydrodynamic Response Flume
Accelerometer

 An accelerometer is a device that measures proper acceleration of

wave
Works Done
 Selection of type of offshore platform to which dynamic response is
going to performed.
 Selection of the region were the platform is going to be installed
and collection of wave data's of the Bay of Bengal Region.
 Study on varies response spectrum.
