The helideck structure must satisfy the safety requirements associated with various environmental and accidental loads. Especially, there have been a number of fire accidents offshore due to helicopter collision (take-off and/or landing) in recent decades. To prevent further accidents, a substantial amount of effort has been directed toward the management of fire in the safety design of offshore helidecks. The aims of this study are to introduce and apply a procedure for quantitative risk assessment and management of fires by defining the fire loads with an applied example. The frequency of helicopter accidents are considered, and design accidental levels are applied. The proposed procedures for determining design fire loads can be efficiently applied in offshore helideck development projects.

Depending on the water depth and composition of seabed, there exist different alternatives for the wind turbine supporting structures. Among several types of the structures, the monopile foundation is the dominant solution for support structure, accounting for over 80% of the offshore wind turbines in Europe. To develop the monopile foundation suitable for domestic ocean environment, a basic design of a transition piece was carried out. This paper presents the design procedure of a flange connected transition piece and results of the structural safety assessment.

This study compares the Residual ultimate longitudinal strength - grounding Damage index (R-D) diagrams produced by two analysis methods: the ALPS/HULL Intelligent Supersize Finite Element Method (ISFEM) and the design formula (modified Paik and Mansour) method - used to assess the safety of damaged ships. The comparison includes four types of double-hull oil tankers: Panamax, Aframax, Suezmax and VLCC. The R-D diagrams were calculated for a series of 50 grounding scenarios. The diagrams were efficiently sampled using the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) technique and comprehensively analysed based on ship size. Finally, the two methods were compared by statistically analysing the differences between their grounding damage indices and ultimate longitudinal strength predictions. The findings provide a useful example of how to apply the ultimate longitudinal strength analysis method to grounded ships.

Evaluation of the performance of aging structures is essential in the oil and gas industry, where the inaccurate prediction of structural performance can have significantly hazardous consequences. The effects of structure failure due to the significant reduction in wall thickness, which determines the burst strength, make it very complicated for pipeline operators to maintain pipeline serviceability. In other words, the serviceability of gas pipelines and elbows needs to be predicted and assessed to ensure that the burst or collapse strength capacities of the structures remain less than the maximum allowable operation pressure. In this study, several positions of the corrosion in a subsea elbow made of API X42 steel were evaluated using both design formulas and numerical analysis. The most hazardous corrosion position of the aging elbow was then determined to assess its serviceability. The results of this study are applicable to the operational and elbow serviceability needs of subsea pipelines and can help predict more accurate replacement or repair times.

한국해양연구소(KORDI)는 후구로(Fugro Int.)사의 도움으로 마라도에서 약 152km 떨어진 지점에 건설 예정인 이어도 해양관측기지 건설을 위해서 해저지반의 특성조사를 수행하였다. 지반조사의 근본 목적은 해양과학기지가 설치될 이어도의 해저지반의 공학적 특성을 파악하고 조사자료를 이용하여 고정식 해양구조물의 기초설계를 하기 위한 것이었다. 본 논문에서는 해저지반조사의 상세한 설명과 고정식 해양구조물의 기초설계에 필요한 설계상수를 산정하는 방법에 대해서 토론하고자 한다. 연구결과로는 해저 현장토질의 특성을 고려한 해양말뚝의 기초설계에 필요한 지반설계 상수를 제안하였다.

본 논문에서는 해상풍력발전타워와 선박충돌에 대한 다양한 매개변수에 해석을 수행하여 선박충돌시 버켓파일로 지지된 기초부와 상부타워의 극한하중에 대한 거동을 분석하였다. 또한 충돌에너지의 변화에 따른 버켓기초의 안정성 여부 및 풍력타워의 에너지 소산능력에 대해 파악하였다. 해석결과 선박이 충돌에너지는 주로 타워의 소성변형에너지에 의해 소산 되었으며 이러한 극한상태의 하중에도 기초부는 충분한 지지력을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

일반적으로 해양 말뚝기초의 경우 해양 환경적 영향 및 시공상의 오차로 인해 수직도 오차가 필연적으로 발생한다. 해양구조물의 경우 수평하중이 아닌 수직하중에 의해 설계가 지배적이나, 해상풍력발전기 기초의 경우 수평하중이 지배적이며, 블레이드 회전에 의한 동적인 운동을 하는 구조형식으로 수직도 오차가 구조적으로 중요한 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 5MW급 해상풍력발전기 모노파일 기초의 수직도 오차에 따른 기초와 지반의 구조응답 특성을 분석하였다. 해양환경하중은 ISO 기준에 의해 산정하였으며, 수직도 오차 범위는 $L/{\infty}$(=0), L/300, L/200 및 L/100로 선정하였다. 해석결과 수직도 오차가 없는 모노파일에 비해 L/100 오차를 갖는 지반의 부재력 최대 값이 약 7.2%정도 더 증가되는 것으로 분석되었다.

해상풍력터빈 시스템은 크게 상부의 풍력터빈과 하부의 지지구조로 구성된다. 해상풍력발전은 육상용 풍력발전보다 우수하다는 평가가 지배적이지만 육상용 풍력발전에서 고려되지 않는 파랑에 의한 주기적인 하중이 추가로 고려되기 때문에 다양한 외부 환경조건에 대하여 높은 안정성 확보가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학 기법을 활용하여 설계된 해상풍력 하부구조에 대한 하중해석을 수행하고 유한요소해석을 통해 설계된 자중조절형 해상풍력 기초에 대한 구조 건전성을 검토하였다.

In the early design stage of ships, the two most important structural analyses are performed to identify the structural capacity and safety. The first step is called global strength analysis (longitudinal strength analysis or hull girder strength analysis) and the second step is local buckling analysis (stiffened panel strength analysis). This paper deals with the ultimate strength performance of Arctic Sea Route-going commercial ships considering the effect of low temperature. In this study, two types of structural analyses are performed in Arctic sea conditions. Three types of ship namely oil tanker, bulk carrier and container ship with four different sizes (in total 12 vessels) are tested in four low temperatures (-20, -40, -60 and $-800^{\circ}C$), which are based on the Arctic environment and room temperature ($20^{\circ}C$). The ultimate strength performance is analysed with ALPS/HULL progressive hull collapse analysis code for ship hulls, then ALPS/ULSAP supersize finite element method for stiffened panels. The obtained results are summarised in terms of temperature, vessel type, vessel size, loading type and other effects. The important insights and outcomes are documented.

Offshore wind energy is gaining more and more attention during this decade. For the countries with coast sites, the water depth is significantly large. This causes attention to the floating wind turbine. Offshore wind turbines are designed and analyzed using comprehensive simulation codes that account for the coupled dynamics of the wind inflow, aerodynamics, elasticity and controls of the wind turbine, along with the incident waves, sea current, hydrodynamics, and foundation dynamics of the support structures. In this work, a three-bladed 5MW upwind wind turbine installed on a floating spar buoy in 320m of water is studied by using of fully coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulation tool. Specifications of the structures are chosen from the OC3 (Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration) under "IEA Wind Annex XXIII-subtask2". The primary external conditions due to wind and waves are simulated. Certain design load case is investigated.
