Analysis of Offshore Structure Having Different Bracing Pattern Using Sap2000

Abstract

In this paper time history analysis is performed for offshore steel structures for El-Centro data for 31sec. The effect of slope (different angle 0degree, 20degree and 30degree) is studied for various loading condition and the effect bracings (single bracings, knee bracings, cross bracings) for different loading are also studied. For FEA analysis SAP 2000 is used which observed very effective for analysis.
