Damage Types in Offshore Structures
Damage of various types occur in all offshore structures as a result of the environment in which they operate and accidents occurring. The types of damage that the structure is likely to experience will to some extent depend on the type of structure and the material involved. Cracks, corrosion and accidental damage such as dents, bows and gouges dominate in fixed and floating steel structures. The most common damage types for steel structures are corrosion, cracking and various forms of impact damage. Fatigue cracking to hull structures is generally more frequent compared to fixed steel structures, particularly in transverse brace to column joints, end terminations. Typical floating production systems have a spread mooring system where the mooring lines are often a combination of chain, wire rope and synthetic rope. The Norwegian Research Council initiated a review of the durability of concrete structures in the late 1990s.
