| Abstract |
A previous study highlighted the possibility that ignoring the effects of stress redistribution due to member failure in jackets could result in an optimistic method for predicting platform reliability. This was shown to have the greatest effect in lower redundancy structures, but the effect was not proven. A second study [2] quantified in more detail the effects of stress redistribution in causing dual member failures on the predicted platform reliabilities. Both studies concentrated on shallow water platforms. This report and the work it describes were funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Its contents, including any opinions and/or conclusions expressed, are those of the author alone and do not necessarily reflect HSE policy.
