4 4 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 General The current joint capacity check included in USFOS covers simple tubular joint and is based on capacity formulas and description of the joint behaviour developed during the MSL Joint Industry Projects as described in /1/, //. In addition to the original MSL formulations, code variants from Norsok/3/and /6/, ISO 1990 /4/ and API RP A WSD /5/ are also implemented. 1. MSL variants The MSL Joint Industry Projects developed several sets of capacity formulas based on a large database of laboratory test results. The original MSL versions you find in USFOS includes: Mean Ultimate Characteristic Ultimate Characteristic First Crack Mean Ultimate represents the statistical mean failure of the joints tested (top of the force-displacement curve, "the most probable failure load"). Characteristic Ultimate is based on the same data, but the as the title say, the capacity is reduced in order to account for the spreading in the test results. Characteristic First Crack is in most cases equal to "Characteristic Ultimate" but is further reduced in some cases in order to avoid degradation of the joint for repeated loading. This version is recommended for structures subjected to repeated load actions, e.g. wave loading. 1.3 Code variants Note that the first crack characteristic capacity equations in the code variants are implemented in USFOS excluding the safety factors given in the codes. The additional safety level required by the code for the various limit states analysed must in USFOS be included on the load side (by increasing the applied loads). Norsok N-004 Revison, ISO: The MSL capacity check formulas have been adopted and adjusted by Norsok (rev ) and ISO. The code variants are based on the MSL First Crack capacity formulas. The ( u ) expressions are nearly identical, but the correction factor for chord utilisation differs from MSL. Also the interaction between axial force, in-
5 5 plane and out-of-plane bending differs, the code variants put more weight on the out-of plane bending component. API RP A: The formulas are also based on the MSL database, however, the database used to develop the latest joint capacity equations for API RPA are extended using results from FE analyses. API RPA (1 st edition) is currently (009) the most updated code with respect to joint capacity. Norsok N-004 Revision 3: The code is aligned with APIRPA (009) with some exceptions: -The basic capacity for X joints in axial tension follows OMAE /7/. In addition the expressions for chord utilisation factors are adjusted for X-joints.

26 6 Figure -6 Calculation of Lc The reduction for short can sections is currently not implemented in USFOS, and should be accounted for when selecting effective can section thickness.. Joint classification The joints are classified based on the axial force flow in the joint. This means that a brace in a joint with a K-joint topology can be classified as a T-joint if only one of the braces carry axial loads. Typically braces in complex joints will be classified as partly K, X and T joints. The ultimate capacity of each individual brace is based on the classification. The joint classification may change during an analysis if the axial force flow changes..3 Joint behaviour and ductility limits.3.1 Joint P-D curves The following expressions show the original MSL proposed relationship between the joint force/moments and joint displacements/rotations as described in //.

Table -14 Ductility limits for axial deflection Joint Type Mean Characteristic X T/Y K δ = β D δ = D δ = 0.06 D δ = β D δ = D δ = D In USFOS, the ductility limit is implemented by reducing the axial joint capacity to a small number for deformations larger than the ductility limit. No formulations are identified for mean and characteristic fracture criteria related to other degrees of freedom..3.3 USFOS Specific adjustments The Joint load-deformation curves described in.3.1 are developed with the mean capacity in mind. The scaling factor φ is intended to scale the curve when characteristic capacities are used, in a way that preserves the initial joint stiffness. However in some cases the produced curves are much softer near the characteristic capacity and the ductility limit is reached before the characteristic capacity. In order to avoid this, the B factors are increased for axial tension for the Norsok, API and ISO variants. B = B 1.5 is used.

With this record, the capacity of each brace/chord connection at the tubular joint will be checked according to a selected joint capacity formulation. This check will impose restrictions on the load transfer through each brace/chord connection at the specified joint. The generated capacities are printed in the '.jnt' or the.out file (Historic options), and the peak capacities will be printed using the Verify/Element/Information option in Xact.

33 33 CHJOINT nodex elnox1 elnox geono CapRule CapLevel f _SafetyCoeff Parameter Description Default nodex elnox1 elnox geono CapRule External node number referring to the joint where joint capacity and nonlinear joint behaviour should be considered External element number defining one of the two CHORD elements connected to the node External element number defining the second CHORD element Geometry reference number defining the diameter and thickness of the chord at the joint (canned joint). If omitted or equal to 0, the data for elnox1 is used. Capacity rule: MSL : MSL non-linear joint characteristics CapLevel Capacity level or capacity multiplier. mean : use mean ultimate joint capacities char : use characteristic ultimate joint capacities fcrack : use characteristic first crack joint capacities scalfact : joint capacities are set to mean value capacities multiplied by scalfact, (where scalfact is a positive real number). This option is only available with the MSL joint formulation. mean f _Safety Coeff The f factor for joint capacities includes a safety factor (or partial safety coefficient) in the chord stress utilization factor. With this record, the capacity of each brace/chord connection at the tubular joint will be checked according to a selected joint capacity equation This check will impose restrictions on the load transfer through each brace/chord connection at the specified joint, and the non-linear joint characteristics will be included in the USFOS analysis. Extra elements will be introduced in the FE model, and the behavior of these elements assigned according to the selected joint capacity rule or specified joint capacity, and the FE formulation selected for the joint elements. The joint capacity rule or joint capacity is specified by the CHJOINT record(s). The FE formulation for the joint elements is selected automatically. (JNT_FORM record is not needed to specify)
34 34 JOINTGAP Gap NodeID Brace1 Brace Parameter Description Default Gap NodeID Brace_i.. Actual Gap specified in current length unit Actual Joint, (CHJOINT must be specified for this joint) The actual gap should be applied to the Braces (Elem ID s) specified. NOTE 1: If no node is specified, all joints defined get the actual gap. NOTE : If no braces are specified, all braces get the actual gap. With this record the user may override the gaps between braces, which are computed based on the structural model, (member coordinates and offsets). This is a useful option if the structural model does not describe correct gaps (f ex a model without member eccentricities/offsets). This record may be repeated. Gap (NodID) Example 1: JOINTGAP This will force a gap = to be used in all relevant capacity calculations for all joints with CHJOINT applied (does not influence T/Y capacities). Gap NodID Example : JOINTGAP JOINTGAP JOINTGAP JOINTGAP This will force a gap = to be used in all relevant capacity calculations for all joints except for joints 1010, 010 and 3010, which will use a gap of Gap NodID Brace1 Brace Brace3 Example 3: JOINTGAP JOINTGAP This will force a gap = to be used in all relevant capacity calculations for all joints except for joint 1010, where the braces 0100, 0101 and 010, which will use a gap of The other braces connected to joint 1010 will use a gap of Gap NodID Brace1 Brace Brace3 Example 4: JOINTGAP This will force a gap=0.070 to be used for joint 1010, braces 0100, 0101 and 010. The other braces connected to joint 1010 as well as all other joints with ChJoint specified will use the gap computed on basis on the structural model (coordinates and eventual offsets).
35 35 JNTCLASS interval Parameter Description Default interval Joints will be (re)classified according to geometry and force state at specified intervals during the analysis. The joint capacities will be updated according to the revised classification, P-δ curves for each joint degree of freedom and the f factor will be updated. 0 : No joint classification. 1 : Continuous joint (re)classification. Joint capacities, nonlinear joint characteristics and the f factor will be updated at every step in the USFOS analysis. n >1 : Joints will be (re)classified at every n th step. Joint capacities, non-linear joint characteristics and the f factor will be updated at every n th step in the USFOS analysis. 1 If the record is not given, the default value of one (classified every step) is used for the MSL, Norsok, ISO and API-WSD variants.
