HYDRODYNAMIC LOAD AND PARAMETRIC DESIGN OF GROUTED CLAMP USED ON OFFSHORE JACKET

Abstract

The reliability and safety of offshore platform are an important research aspect in marine engineering. The jacket platform is mainly used for oil development and submarine drilling, and the long-term work in the marine environment will be subjected to different loads, which will lead to the damage of the structure part of the offshore platform. It affects the structural strength of the platform. For the repair of jacket damage, grouted reinforcement technology is adopted, which has the advantages of simple underwater installation and low cost. The reinforcement technology of the grout hoop has been applied to the engineering projects abroad, but the stress and serialization design of the hoop in the marine environment need further study. This paper will combine the ocean current and wave force to carry out the research of underwater work and prevent loosening, and put forward the parametric design method for the specific size of the hoop. Two types of experimental models are designed: short bolt form clamp and long bolt form clamp. The mechanical experiment of the long bolt clamp is carried out, and the relationship between the slipping force and the bolt preload is analyzed, so as to verify the theoretical analysis.
