For on-shore structures, dynamic analysis becomes increasingly important as the water depth increases and the structural configuration becoines slenderer. In this study, an estimation method for equivalent three dimensional (30) hydrodynamic coefficients is introduced as a part of beam permutation technique development. The beam pemlUtation technique is being developed for obtaining an equivalent beam to a frame structure in order to reduce the degrees of freedom and thus the analysis time significantly. Two 3D structures are used in order to verify the obtained equivalent 3D hydrodynamic coefficients. Two commercial softwares, ANSYS and SACS, are used for the verification. The results of the present analysis are found to be satisfactory in comparison with those by the two softwares.
