During their operation life-cycle, tension leg platforms (TLPs) may experience, under wave
and wind loading, response amplitudes that affect their operational and structural reliability.
Uncertainties related to the excitation characteristics (for example significant wave height or
zero up-crossing period) or to the TLP-model properties (for example modulus of elasticity
for tendons or location of center of mass) significantly impact the predicted dynamic
response of the platform and ultimately the calculated reliability, or more generally the TLP …
