Comparison of stress analysis tools for ocean vertical pile under environmental loads

해양 수직 파일(Vertical Pile)에 작용하는 환경 하중하의 응력 해석 기법 비교

To investigate the stability and integrity of offshore structures, it is necessary to estimates the significant ocean environmental loadings. They include hydrostatic pressure, wind, wave, current, tide, ice, earthquake, temperature, marine growth and scouring. Waves are of major importance among them because of the large forces acting on submerged parts of the structure caused by accompanying water motions. For the comparison of stress and deflection analysis tools, a vertical pile is applied under environmental loads. The analysis is concerned with SACS(Structural Analysis Computer System), ANSYS and C program. SACS and C program have nearly the same results but not ANSYS. This study shows the comparison of results obtained from 3 different approaches.
