Tensile Capacity of Corroded Steel Section Strengthened Using Fiber Composite Wrap
Abstract: Strengthening and rehabilitation of structures is a major concern for researchers in the civil engineering community in recent years due to the aging of structures and the need for effective methods of strengthening. Many researches are being carried out on strengthening of reinforced concrete structures using fiber composite materials. A very few researches are being reported on strengthening of corroded steel members using fiber composite materials. Since corrosion is an …

FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE WITH CARDAN SUSPENSION
Abstract: This paper describes a new structural design for a vertical axis floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). The wind turbine consists of bowl-shaped blades set arranged circularly around a vertical axis on which they rotate due to the wind effect. A cardan mechanism supports the set and maintains the wind turbine in horizontal position despite the wave movement. The proposed wind turbine increases the power generation by 10% for a maximum …

Study and Checking of Adequacy of Pinion Stiffness for Jacking Systems of Self Elevating Units during the Conversion Jobs
Abstract: Jacking systems are used to elevate and lower the hull of self-elevating units in the elevated condition and to raise and lower the legs in the floating condition. In one of a conversion job of a Jack-up Rig from MODU to MOPU, which has been considered here as a case study, in which during conversion it has been identified that the inadequacy of the pinion stiffness could be one of …

Geosynthetic polymeric material Reinforced Model Shallow Foundation's Monotonic and Cyclic Uplift Response Affected by Ground Inclination
Abstract: The foundation system of any structure is vital for ensuring safety, serviceability, and performance, particularly when subjected to vertical and uplift forces. While conventional foundations are primarily designed to resist compressive loads, structures such as transmission towers, offshore platforms, buried pipelines, retaining systems, and marine facilities are frequently subjected to uplift forces generated by wind, waves, buoyancy, and cyclic loading. Under such conditions, the uplift resistance of soil and uplift …

Consideration of Collision Damage in FPSO Structural Design
Abstract: AbstractA collision event may be catastrophic for an offshore facility or a floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO). Depending on the size and speed of the impacting ship, anything from damage to hull rupture, oil pollution, flooding, loss of buoyancy, capsizing, and sinking may occur. Supply vessels and tankers frequently visit the FPSO to transport consumables and chemicals and, consequently, there is a risk of collision between two structures. …

Bladeless Offshore Wind Turbines
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to define the structural characteristics of a vertical single-blade wind turbine operating under oscillatory movement due to the wave motion and vibrational forces provided by the wind to the assembly. This new type of turbine can change the current landscape of wind energy. They can expand the generated self-consumption produced by wind energy, which is currently low, and take advantage of the free space …

Optimized Design and Control of Oil Exploitation Strategies: An Assisted Approach
Abstract: Because there are so many factors and scenarios to consider, optimizing oil exploitation tactics requires complicated decision-making. Conventional approaches frequently concentrate on particular elements of the design infrastructure, which restricts their capacity to fully handle the process. In order to maximize a set of oil exploitation variables in a hierarchical fashion, this research proposes a novel assisted optimization technique that combines mathematical algorithms with engineering analysis. By grouping variables into …
