Loadout Analysis

This document discusses the analysis of loadout conditions for offshore structures. It describes different loadout scenarios including trailer, skidded, and deck loadouts. The analysis procedure is outlined which involves static and tow runs to model the loadout frames, springs, and apply lateral loads. Spring stiffness is calculated based on soil properties and trailer specifications. Load distributions are checked against barge capacity. Key considerations are planning temporary members, trailer arrangement, and checking for clashes with the barge.

KEYS TO REMEMBER
• Always plan the Deck or jacket not resting directly on the trailer (i.e.,
prefer temporary loadout frame to avoid rework on the permanent
member)
• Plan trailer arrangement and grouping
• The trailer arrangement should be capable of enter to the barge and
retrieve from the barge after the module lowered
• Check the clashes with barge (i.e., bollard, winch etc. which is on the
barge)

LOAD OUT
ANALYSIS
STATIC RUN
• Use Lift model or inplace model up to your comfort and modify to
suit loadout analysis.
• Model temporary members such as loadout frames if applicable.
• Identify the trailer group and model the springs
• From the Yard soil SBC calculate the Spring stiffness
METHODOLOGY
Spring Stiffness calculation

• The stiffness at each support (trailer) has been derived based on a soil modulus of sub-grade
reaction of 64000 kN/m3, single tyre contact area of the trailer is (0.36x0.27m) 0.0972m2 and the
effective number of tyres per trailer considered is twelve (3 effective rows x 2 axles x 2tyres /
axle).

Hence, stiffness at each support (trailer) = 12 x 0.0972 x 64000 = 74650 kN/m.

• The horizontal stiffness at each support point location is assumed to be 10% of the vertical
stiffness.
(Ensure X & Y spring force should be negligible)

(Note :- 64000 kN/m3 is based on yard soil modulus)


Assigning Spring’s at the trailer support
location

Spring =74650/2 = 37325kN/m

1. Find out Spring stiffness according to the reaction and by trailer grouping.
2. Create 5 % Lateral load in X & Y direction from TOW run (copy and paste the loads which is
generated in X & Y direction in the static file)
