Title	Assessment of the Remaining Strength of Damaged and Repaired Tubular Members of Offshore Structures - A Review

Creator	Raghava, G. Madhava Rao, A.G.

Subject	Tubular structure Offshore structures Remaining strength Damage structure Repaired

Description	Impact type damage is very common in steel tubular members of offshore structures. This damage is caused due to dropped objects and on collision by ships and other passing vessels. Such impact damage reduces the load carrying capacity of a member considerably. The damaged members are normally repaired by grouting or clamping, or by a combination of both. Information regarding remaining strength of damaged members and strength of repaired members of steel offshore structures is limited. The literature available in this area is reviewed by the authors. Salient points of the review and authors' observations based on the review are presented in this paper. The parameters that need to be considered in the future studies in this area have been identified. Taking into consideration the large number of offshore platforms in India and the Thrust given to the expansion of offshore activities in the country, it is essential that an indigenous knowledge base is created with regard to the assessment of remaining strength of damaged and repaired tubular members of steel offshore structures.
