The ultimate strength of the skid frame on Mooring Support Structure (MSS)

Abstract

Abstract The Mooring Support Structure (MSS) structure has a function as a provider of pipelines and cables between the Hose Deck of the Mooring Tower and MSS. The pipes and cables serve to export crude oil and other exploration products such as water and gas from Mooring Tower to the FSO. During the construction process in the fabrication field, the MSS is supported by skid frames. The Skid frames are assembly structures that consist of beams with various shapes and dimensions. The skid frame strength calculation is performed to ensure that the designed skid frame can resist the load of the MSS structure above it. This study aims to analyze the ultimate strength of the skid frame response of Mooring Support Structure (MSS), and the result is presented in terms of stress and interaction ratio.
