Reliability Assessment of Marine Platforms Installed in the Bay of Campeche, Mexico

摘要

This paper presents a reliability assessment methodology for fixed offshore structures, considering models and characterizations associated with the criteria developed for design and requalification of platforms in the Bay of Campeche as well as the evaluation of global reliability index of an offshore structural system. A comparison of the analytical results of some offshore structures obtained from the application of this methodology is included considering also the influence of reliability updating after inspection in order to set up an optimal inspection planning.
