ガイドタワーの地震応答について

抄録

A new compliant offshore structure, the guyed tower, has been proposed as a deep water production and drilling platform. The guyed tower is an offshore platform that rests on a spud can bearing foundation and is hold upright by multiple guylines. This paper presents a model test of the response of a guyed tower system subjected to earthquake excitation. Based on the results of the test, it can be confirmed that for the purpose of the design of guyed tower the horizontal component of earthquake must be sufficiently taken into consideration.
