DNV-OS-C502 Offshore Concrete Structures
|
Sec.3
A 100 General
Sec.3 A
101 A fixed/floating concrete offshore Structure shall
be planned in such a manner that it can meet all requirements related
to its functions and use as well as its structural safety and durability
requirements. Adequate planning shall be done before actual design
is started in order to have sufficient basis for the engineering
and by that obtain a safe, workable and economical structure that
will fulfil the required functions.
Sec.3 A
102 The initial planning shall include determination and description
of all the functions the structure shall fulfil, and all the criteria
upon which the design of the structure are based. Site-specific
data such as water depth, environmental conditions and soil properties
shall be sufficiently known and documented to serve as basis for
the design. All functional and operational requirements in temporary
and service phases as well as robustness against accidental conditions
that can influence the layout and the structural design shall be
considered.
Sec.3 A
103 All functional requirements to the Structure affecting the layout
and the structural design, shall be established in a clear format
such that it can form the basis for the engineering process and
the structural design.
Sec.3 A
104 Investigation of site-specific data such as seabed topography,
soil conditions and environmental conditions shall be carried out
in accordance with requirements of DNV-OS-C101, ISO 19901-1 and
ISO 19901-4.
