Annotation of standard text API TR 2A-LFS :
This study is to evaluate the suitability of the load factors in API 2A-LRFD 1st Edition (1993) given the accumulated experience since the 1980s about hurricane hazards and platform performance. The specific objectives of this study are:
- 1. Review the methodology and analyses used in the 1980s to develop the load factor in the API 2A-LRFD 1st Edition and compare its methodology with the methodology presented in ISO 19902 (2007).
- 2. Analyze the component reliability levels with the improved understanding of hurricane hazards and platform performance and assess the effect of load factors on the component reliability.
- 3. Analyze the system reliability levels for three case study platforms that are being used to guide development of API 2A-LRFD 2nd Edition and assess the effect of load factors on the system reliability.
- 4. Provide design considerations when determining the load factors to be used in API 2A-LRFD 2nd Edition. See more
