Analysis of Types and Design Solutions of Offshore Ice-Resistant Platformsfor Seismic Regions of Continental Shelf

摘要

The paper examines problematic issues related to the design of oil andrngas production platforms for which ice and seismic impacts arerndeterministic, as well as design criteria, which allow to make a rationalrndecision during design.rnAnalysis of impact of seismic conditions and ice period upon thernarchitecture of the facility and its structural elements is introduced.rnDesigns of offshore ice-resistant platforms for regions with highrnseismic activity are presented.rnSpecial consideration is given to the issues of engineering of platformsrndesigned for operation in severe environmental conditions of Russianrnshelf.
