Triceratops Under Special Loads
Offshore structures need to be analyzed for dynamic effects arising due to ice–structure interactions. Of several ice failure modes, crushing ice failure tends to cause maximum ice force on the structure. This chapter deals with a response analysis of an offshore triceratops under ice load due to continuous ice crushing, impact loads arising due to ship–platform collisions, and fire loads on the deck of the platform. When an ice load acts on two buoyant legs, the complex behavior of the triceratops shows significant responses in both the deck and buoyant legs in all degrees of freedom. The surge and pitch responses in the buoyant legs induce significant tether tension variation in the triceratops. The buoyant legs of the triceratops are prone to accidental impact loads arising from ship–platform collisions. Hydrocarbon fires are among the most severe accidental loads on topside structures in the offshore industry.
