Abstract

Jacket platform acts as base for overall structure which is used to extract hydrocarbon from oceans. They are generally suitable for shallow and intermediate waters with a depth of (<150 m), but they have been built for depths like 529 m such as Bullwinkle by Shell in Gulf of Mexico. Structural design methodology of civil engineering design codes has changed from allowable stress design to limit state (load and resistance factor) design. Codes for structural design go through changing process, and whenever a new finding is reported and verified, it is incorporated in the code.
