| Description |
Based on the damage data collected from Hurricanes Ivan (2004), Andrew
(1992) and Lili (2002), this project determined the effectiveness of
current structural design standards and MMS regulations. It analyzed the effectiveness of API RP2A and Section 17 to see if
both, the MMS regulations and API standards perform as expected for the
Assessment of Existing Fixed Platforms. The Final Report presented
recommendations on how to avoid damages from a hurricane of a similar size
to Ivan, Lili or Andrew.
