Legs of Ocean Platform in the Gulf of Bohai Ice Load Safety Analysis

Abstract

Ocean engineering structures often suffer from ice disaster damages, and the mechanism of interaction between sea ice and ocean structures is complex, the sea ice own properties are also changeful. Based on field researches and statistical results we can know the ice force amplitude. The solid model was established by the ANSYS Workbench module, then simulate the interaction of ice load and ocean engineering structures to verify the safety of ocean engineering structure. This kind of treatment provides an effective method for solving the similar problems, to guarantee the safety of ocean engineering building objective. Keywords:Ocean engineering structures; anti icing safety; ice force amplitude statistics; finite element method
