1 Introduction

This manual describes the steel frame design algorithms in the software for the Norsok Standard N-004 2013 (Standards Norway, 2013) design code. The design algorithms in the software for Norsok N-004 cover ultimate limit state (ULS) checks for typical structural elements used in offshore steel structures, as detailed in this manual. Such elements are tubular members and tubular joints. For other types of structural elements, the software uses European Standard EN 1993-1-1 2005 (European Committee for Standardization, 2005). Requirements of the code not documented in this manual should be considered using other methods.

This manual documents the design details for tubular sections having thickness t ≥ 6mm, D/t < 120.

It is important to read this entire manual before using the design algorithms to become familiar with any limitations of the algorithms or assumptions that have been made.

1.1 Units The Norsok N-004 design code is based on Newton, millimeter, and second units and so is this manual, unless noted otherwise. Any units, imperial, metric, or MKS may be used in the software in conjunction with Norsok N-004 design.

1.2 Axes Notation The software analysis results refer to the member local axes system, which consists of the 2-2 axis and the 3-3 axis. The Norsok N-004 design code refers to y-y and z-z axes, which are equivalent to the software 3-3 and 2-2 axes, respectively. These notations may be used interchangeably in the design algorithms, although every effort has been made to use the design code convention where possible.

1.3 Symbols The following table provides a list of the symbols used in this manual, along with a short description. Where possible, the same symbol from the design code is used in this manual.

2 Member Design

This chapter provides the details of the structural steel design and stress check algorithms that are used for tubular member design and checking at each output station in accordance with Norsok N-004.

Tubular members subjected solely to axial tension, axial compression, bending, shear, or hydrostatic pressure are designed in accordance with Norsok N-004 Sections 6.3.2 to 6.3.6. Tubular members subjected to combined loads without hydrostatic pressure are designed in accordance with Norsok N-004 Section 6.3.8. Tubular members subjected to combined loads with hydrostatic pressure are designed in accordance with Norsok N-004 Section 6.3.9.

3 Joint Design

This chapter provides the details of the joint punching load check algorithms that are used for tubular joints in accordance with Norsok N-004 Sections 6.4.3 and 6.4.4.

3.1 Joint Geometry Figure 1 illustrates some of the geometric parameters used in the punching load check.

The following geometric parameters are derived from those in Figure 1.

𝛽𝛽 =𝑑𝑑𝐷𝐷

𝛾𝛾 =𝐷𝐷2𝑇𝑇

𝜏𝜏 =𝑡𝑡𝑇𝑇

The following limits on the geometric parameters are enforced:

0.2 ≤ 𝛽𝛽 ≤ 1.0 10 ≤ 𝛾𝛾 ≤ 50 30° ≤ 𝜃𝜃 ≤ 90°

3.2 Characteristic Resistances The design axial resistance, NRd, and design bending moment resistance, MRd, are defined as:
