| Estimated Completion |
Completed. |
| Description |
The objective was to
develop a systematic seismic hazard approach for the requalification of existing
platforms. The need for quantified assessment of the safety implications of inspections
and repairs has led to incorporating such information into the decision process. No
definitive engineering guidelines have been developed for defining a program for platforms
located in seismically active areas. The research resulted in development of a practicable
methodology for the safety management of fixed platforms in areas subject to earthquakes. |
