Common Compliant Platforms
While it is a common understanding that structural forms are conceived to counteract the applied loads acting on them, it may not be completely true in the context of offshore structures. This chapter presents details of the structural geometry of compliant offshore platforms while emphasizing the design and development of these platforms rather than of fixed platforms. Offshore structures are grouped as fixed, compliant, and floating types, based on the boundary conditions of their station‐keeping characteristics. Fixed platforms are further categorized as jacket platforms, gravity platforms, and jack‐up rigs. Compliant platforms are further categorized as guyed towers, articulated towers, and tension leg platform. Floating platforms are further categorized as semi‐submersibles, floating production units, floating storage and offloading, floating production storage and offloading, and spar. The chapter also presents various control strategies commonly deployed for response control of structures subjected to lateral loads while presenting detailed applications of tuned mass dampers in offshore structures.
