I 100   General

Sec.11 I
101   In the design phase particular attention should be given to structural details, and requirements for reinforcement in areas that may be subjected to high local stresses, for example:
—critical connections
—locations that may be subjected to wave impact (including wave run-up effects along the columns)
—locations in way of mooring arrangements
—locations that may be subjected to damage.


Sec.11 I
102   In way of critical connections, structural continuity should be maintained through joints with the axial stiffening members and shear web plates being made continuous. Particular attention should be given to weld detailing and geometric form at the point of the intersections of the continuous plate fields with the intersecting structure.
