Abstract

A spudcan is mounted on the lower leg of the jack-up rig, a device for preventing a rollover of a structure and to support the structure in a stable sea floor. At the time of inserting the surface of the spud can to penetrate when the sand layer is stable and smoothly pulled to the clay layer, and at that time of recovery when uploading the spud can is equipped with a water injection device. In this study, it is significant to optimize the shape of pipelines holes for water injection device and it was set in two kinds of shape, the oval and round. Interpretation of the subject into the site of Gulf of Mexico offshore Wind Turbine Installation Vessels (WTIV) was chosen as a target platform. Using the ANSYS Workbench commercial programs, optimal design was conducted. The results of this study can be applied to the hole-shaped design of various marine structures.

스퍼드캔(spudcan)은 잭업리그(jack-up rig)의 다리 하단에 장착되며, 해저면에 구조물을 안정적으로 지지하여 구조물의 전복사고를 방지하기 위한 장치이다. 표층이 모래 층일 때는 침투(penetration) 시에 스퍼드캔을 안정적으로 삽입하기 위해서, 그리고 점토 층일 때는 회수(extraction) 시에 원활하게 뽑아 올리기 위해서 스퍼드캔에는 물 분사장치가 장착되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 물 분사장치를 위한 배관라인용 홀의 형상을 최적화하기 위해 크게 타원형과 원형 두 가지 형상을 설정하였다. 해석을 위해 대상 Site 는 멕시코만(Gulf of Mexico)로 선정하였고 대상 플랫폼은 해상풍력발전기설치선(WTIV)을 선택하였다. 상용프로그램인 ANSYS Workbench 를 사용하여 최적설계를 진행하였다. 본 연구결과는 다양한 해양구조물의 홀 형상설계에 적용될 수 있다.
