In this study, the technical papers on structural condition assessment of aged fixed-type
offshore platforms reported over the past few decades are presented. Other ancillary related …

Welding-induced residual stress is known to reduce the ultimate compressive strength of
moderately slender stiffened panels under longitudinal compression. This paper contributes …

Ultimate limit state (ULS) assessment examines the maximum load-carrying capacity of
structures considering inelastic buckling failure. Contrary to the traditional allowable stress …

Cylindrical shell is a common structural design solution in many engineering fields, such as
the foundation supporting structures and buoyant column of the offshore wind turbine in the …

In this paper, for the first time, a three-step approach for the optimal design of stiffened
panels accounting for the ultimate limit state due to welding residual stress is developed …

Despite comprehensive prevention strategies, offshore operations consistently grapple with
health, safety, and environmental (HSE) challenges. Though explosions on offshore …

Long-span stiffened panels, designed using girders with high webs and multi-web openings,
are often used in the top of large spaces without inner columns, such as the theatre and the …

The paper presents experimental and finite element analyses of the ultimate strength of a
stiffened panel with a large opening on the plating and multi small openings on the …

A reliable and cost-effective technique for the development of corrosion damage model is
introduced to predict nonlinear time-dependent corrosion wastage of steel structures. A …

This research aims to study the ultimate limit state (ULS) behaviour of stiffened panel under
longitudinal compression by a non-linear finite element method (NLFEM). There are different …
