Abstract
The response and performance of conventional offshore platforms subjected to intense earthquake ground motions is a topic of vital concern to the offshore energy industry. The platforms discussed are steel, tubular-membered, truss-framed structures supported by tubular piles and conductors. Elastic and inelastic response, and platform system element characteristics are considered. An offshore platform system, if properly designed and carefully proportioned according to API RP 2A guidelines, can develop earthquake resistance which equals or exceeds that of comparable conventional onshore building structures.
