Joint Modelling: Offshore structures are complex structures that need the designing of accurate joint modeling to connect various members. It's a collection of chords and braces. Chords are basically the big brothers which absorb the axial forces discharged by braces and carry their own axial loading.

Salute to Offshore structural engineers and designers. they play a major role in the offshore platform design as the entire topsides rest on these structures.

The River LINE was constructed from 1999 to 2004 as part of a $600 million investment to provide light rail services from Camden to Trenton. The southern alignment extends 34 miles and consists of 25 bridges and 20 rail stations. MidAtlantic’s Marine & Infrastructure Group recently completed an In-Depth Fracture Critical Inspection of the Southern New Jersey Light Rail Transit System bridge U.G. 12.28 located along The River LINE. Bridge U.G. 12.28 is the largest structure in the Southern New Jersey Light Rail Transit System inventory with an overall length of nearly 600 feet. The bridge consists of five prestressed concrete box beam approach spans and one 210 feet steel tied arch main span and carries two tracks of light rail vehicle. The bridge spans Rancocas Creek between the towns of Riverside, New Jersey and Delanco, New Jersey. MidAtlantic’s team of highly qualified structural engineers and certified technicians utilized advanced inspection techniques, including robotic drones equipped with high-resolution cameras, Pontoon Boats equipped with hydraulic 60 feet manlifts, Level III NDT, and contracted AWS certified technicians capable of performing UT and magnetic particle non-destructive testing to successfully complete our services. These cutting-edge tools and strategic partnerships enabled MidAtlantic to assess the bridge's structural integrity while maintaining light rail vehicle service. Traditional inspection methods would typically require a temporary halt in rail services, leading to significant disruptions. This innovative approach reflects a commitment to both safety and the uninterrupted flow of rail traffic. The success of this groundbreaking inspection will not only ensure the bridge's continued reliability but also sets a new standard for challenging infrastructure assessments in the future. Great work Glen Fitzgerald, P.E. and Kevin Koehler! MidAtlantic – Integrity. Expertise. Ingenuity. #civilengineering #environmentalengineering #marineengineering #survey #architecture

Exploring the Dynamics of Offshore Structural Engineering As offshore structural engineers, we navigate the intricate world of hydrodynamic loading to ensure the resilience and stability of offshore platforms. Hydrodynamic loading, the initial step in computing forces acting on offshore structures, involves intricate calculations rooted in wave theory.From Morison’s equation to diffraction theory, we delve into the complexities of deriving hydrodynamic forces. Drag and inertia forces emerge as primary actors, each governed by distinct principles and equations. In the classification of hydrodynamic loading, we discern drag loading caused by vortices and inertia loading stemming from fluid acceleration. Vortex shedding-induced oscillatory loading adds another layer of complexity, especially when natural frequencies align with shedding frequencies. In the realm of offshore structure design, uncertainties persist regarding the correct values of coefficients. Drag forces dominate in extreme waves, while inertia forces gain prominence in smaller waves crucial for fatigue analysis. However, the presence of large-diameter members can alter this dynamic, emphasizing inertia forces even under extreme loading conditions.Dynamic responses to wave loading vary, with quasi-static reactions to long-period waves contrasting dynamic responses to shorter periods. Diffraction loading, a subtype of inertia loading, underscores the structural modifications altering wave patterns.Slam and slap loading present further challenges, with impulsive forces exerted as members interact with the water surface. Dynamic responses become pivotal in mitigating these forces’ impact on structure integrity. As we navigate the seas of offshore engineering, understanding these hydrodynamic phenomena is paramount. Let's continue to innovate and optimize designs, ensuring offshore structures stand strong against nature's forces. #StructuralEngineering #OffshoreEngineering #CivilEngineering #SACS
