Practical investigation of a monopod fabrication method and the numerical investigation of its up-righting process

摘要: The principal purpose of this paper is to present a novel two phases rational scenario applied in constructing an offshore monopod platform; which the are all-ground horizontal construction phase and post-construction phase. Concerning phase, brief investigation its different stages, i.e., pre-fabrication, fabrication, pre-assembling, positioning, assembling, surface finishing introduced. important practical aspects such investigated without going into nitty-gritty details involved therein. clear sequential lifting, moving up-righting A finite element model (FEM) platform created perform structural analysis necessary decide suspension points/devices handling during various stages on wise. Such performed within framework three dimensional quasi-static modeling aiming at simulating realistic condition, hence introducing reliable physical interpretation numerical results. For whole effort be demonstrated efficiently, results obtained analyzed, conclusions presented, few related recommendations suggested.
