The intent of the modification is to map the requirements of ISO 19901-2 to the United States\u2019 offshore continental shelf (U.S. OCS). The requirements are applicable to fixed steel structures and fixed concrete structures. The effects of seismic events on floating structures and partially buoyant structures are also briefly discussed. The site-specific assessment of jack-ups in elevated condition is only covered to the extent that the requirements are applicable.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> This document defines the seismic requirements for new construction of structures in accordance with API 2A-WSD, 22nd Edition and later. Earlier editions of API 2A-WSD are not applicable.\n<ul>\n<li> The majority of the ISO 19901-2 document is applicable to the U.S. OCS. Where necessary, this document provides guidance for aligning the ISO 19901-2 requirements and terminology with API. The key differences are as follows.\n<ul>\n<li> a) API 2EQ adopts the ISO 19901-2 site seismic zones in lieu of those previously used in API 2A-WSD, 21st Edition and earlier.<\/li>\n<li> b) Only the maps in Figure B.2 are applicable, in lieu of those previously used in API 2A-WSD, 21st Edition and earlier.<\/li>\n<li> c) ISO 19901-2 seismic design approach is also adopted here with:<\/li>\n<li> \u2014 a two-level seismic design in which the structure is designed to the ultimate limit state (ULS) for strength and stiffness and then checked to the abnormal or accidental limit state (ALS) to ensure that it meets reserve strength and energy dissipation requirements;<\/li>\n<li> \u2014 the seismic ULS design event is the extreme level earthquake (ELE) [this is consistent with, but not exactly the same as the strength level earthquake (SLE) in API 2A-WSD, 21st Edition and earlier];<\/li>\n<li> \u2014 the seismic ALS design event is the abnormal level earthquake (ALE) [this is consistent with, but not exactly the same as the ductility level earthquake (DLE) in API 2A-WSD, 21st Edition and earlier].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Only earthquake-induced ground motions are addressed in detail. Other geologically induced hazards such as liquefaction, slope instability, faults, tsunamis, mud volcanoes, and shock waves are mentioned and briefly discussed. The requirements are intended to reduce risks to persons, the environment, and assets to the lowest levels that are reasonably practicable. This intent is achieved by using:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> \u2014 seismic design procedures which are dependent on the platform\u2019s exposure level and the expected intensity of seismic events;<\/li>\n<li> \u2014 a two-level seismic design check in which the structure is designed to the ultimate limit state (ULS) for strength and stiffness and then checked to abnormal environmental events or the accidental limit state (ALS) to ensure that it meets reserve strength and energy dissipation requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> For high seismic areas and\/or high exposure level fixed structures, a site-specific seismic hazard assessment is required; for such cases, the procedures and requirements for a site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) are addressed. However, a thorough explanation of PSHA procedures is not included.<\/p>\n<p> 2 ANSI\/API RECOMMENDED PRACTICE 2EQ\/ISO 19901-2:2004<\/p>\n<p> Where a simplified design approach is allowed, worldwide offshore maps are included in Annex B that show the intensity of ground shaking corresponding to a return period of 1000 years. In such cases, these maps may be used with corresponding scale factors to determine appropriate seismic actions for the design of a structure. NOTE For design of fixed steel offshore structures, further specific requirements and recommended values of design parameters are included in API 2A-WSD, 22nd Edition, while those for fixed concrete offshore structures are contained in ISO 19903. Specific seismic requirements for floating structures are to be contained in ISO 19904 [3], for site-specific assessment of jack-ups and other MOUs in ISO 19905 [4], for arctic structures in ISO 19906 [5] or API 2N, and for topsides structures in ISO 19901-3 [1].<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Seismic Design Procedures and Criteria for Offshore Structures<\/b><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Published By<\/td>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>Number of Pages<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/product-category\/publishers\/api\/\"><b>API<\/b><\/a><\/td>\n<td>2014<\/td>\n<td>104<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":488356,"template":"","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"product_cat":[2642],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-488348","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-api","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"sold-individually","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/488348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=488348"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=488348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
