1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Analyses Performed

A summary of the pre-service analyses performed on RSS Arch structure is outlined in the below
sections:

Lifting Analysis

Lifting analysis is performed to check the strength and integrity of the RSS Arch structure during the
onshore and offshore lift condition using Happy Star Vessel (Biglift) and DLV2000 barge crane
(DLV2000) based on installation analysis performed by Dubai CSE, ref. [5]. The design is based on the
dynamic lift weight and includes the effects of dynamic amplification, skew effects due to sling
mismatch, CoG shift, consequence factors and sling geometry as outlined in structural design
premise, ref. [3].

Members and tubular joint checks are performed to AISC 9th Ed., ref.[15] and API RP 2A-WSD,
ref.[10]. No increase in allowable stresses is considered. Analysis results shows that the RSS Arch
design can withstand the applied loads during the both of Happy Star (Biglift) and DLV2000 crane
barge conditions.

The padeye is designed for maximum sling loads, padeye drawing and calculated refer to Local Design
Report, ref. [7]

Transportation Analysis

Transportation analysis is performed to check the adequacy of RSS Arch design to sustain the loads
that may occur during transportation of structure for both conditions from the Batam fabrication
yard, Indonesia to Nouakchott, Mauritania by Happy Star (Biglift) barge and from Nouakchott,
Mauritania to FPSO offshore site on an assumed 300ft class barge standard.

The analysis has been performed for the selected transportation orientation and support
arrangement. The tow parameters and load combinations are as per structural design premise, ref.[3]

Members and tubular joints have been code checked according to AISC 9th Ed., ref.[15] and API RP
2A-WSD, ref.[10]. No increase in allowable stresses is considered. The analysis showed that the
structural strength of the RSS Arch members and joints are adequate for the design transportation
loads in both conditions.

4 LIFTING ANALYSIS

4.1 Introduction

4.1.1 Design Approach

A static 3-dimensional lifting analysis of the Arch of RSS has been performed to check the structural
adequacy during the various lifting condition.

The design is based on the dynamic lift weight and includes the effects of dynamic amplification, skew
effects due to sling mismatch, CoG shift, consequence factors and sling geometry as outlined in RSS
design premise, ref. [3].

Members and tubular joint checks are performed to AISC 9th Ed. and API RP 2A-WSD with allowable
stresses as defined by Table 5.

Lifting pad-eyes are designed for the maximum sling loads from the lift analyses with applicable
design factors. For details of pad-eye design refer to Local Design Report, ref. [7]

4.1.2 Key Assumptions

The analysis considers lifting the Arch of RSS structure using a single crane hook and four slings
connected directly from the pad-eye lift points on RSS Arch legs A1, A2, B1, and B2 for DLV2000 lift
and via a spreader bar for Biglift Happy Star lift. The sling length is various due to using differences
barge crane lift.

4.1.3 Computer Model

The RSS Arch structure Lifting model has developed from updated SACS model for RSS In-service
Analysis dated 02 April 2020 with the following modification:

• Remove all the Tower element below elevation EL (-) 71.30

• Remove in-place boundary conditions.
• The lifting rigging load is added.
• Modelled hook points vertically above the model COG with various sling length due to using
differences barge crane lift.
• Sling members were modeled with appropriate sectional area and modulus of elasticity to
represent the sling stiffness and offset to the pad-eye’s center of a pinhole or as per proposed
rigging arrangement by Biglift/Installation team. All slings were modelled with moment end
release and weightless.
• Included lateral soft spring at suitable location to prevent rigid body movement.
• The hook point is modelled above the COG of the lifted structure so that the equilibrium is
maintained. Hook’s point was modeled as fixed support.
• Couple forces are applied as additional load cases for COG shift conditions (if any).
A single lift model is created with 5 different hook positions for base case and 4 COG shift conditions.
Gap input file is also created to activate only the required slings for a particular COG position.

For Big Lift Happy Star RSS Arch Rigging Arrangement, refer to Annex E.

For DLV2000 crane barge RSS Arch Rigging Arrangement, refer to Annex F.

The Arch of RSS structure lifting configuration in is presented in Figure below.

4.1.5 Centre of Gravity Shift

The lifting condition 1 use Happy Star Biglift HLV arrangement with a spreader bar did not consider
the CoG shift due to use two hooks lifting and load factors applied as per defined in Table 9

The COG envelope for the Arch of RSS is considered 5% overall length as per API 2MOP
recommended, ref.[11].

Sensitivity studies of shifting the lift COG within an envelope of ±0.8m longitudinally and ±0.55m
transversely are performed. To simulate COG shift, the required couple forces as shown in table below
are applied in the load combinations. The hook point is also relocated to the new COG position.

4.2 Loads and Load Combinations

This section presents the loading summary of manually computed and computer-generated loading
applicable to the design of this Arch of RSS structure.

4.2.1 Design Lift Weight

The design lift weights considered in lifting analysis are based on WCR. Rev.A04 ref. [4] and listed
below:

Structural Steel Weight

Structural steel weight consists of

• Weight of the modelled primary structural members

• Weight of non-modelled, secondary and tertiary steel

The weight of modelled structure is generated by SACS program. The weights of the non-modelled
items are calculated and distributed at the appropriate location as joint/member loads.

Rigging Weight

The rigging installation aid weight is estimated to be 10T, including sling and shackle as mentioned in
WCR. Rev.A04 ref. [4]

Grillage Weight

The full grillage weight is estimated to be 35T as mentioned in WCR. Rev.A04 ref. [4]

4.4 Lifting Analysis Results

For conservative results, the lifting analysis has considered all members and joints shall be checked
with maximum load factored as connected directly to lift points cases indicated in Table 9.

4.4.1 Sling Forces

As per results sling forces shown on RSS Installation Analysis Report, ref. [5] and Annex D (maximum
static sling force is 113T), the results sling forces from SACS are higher. Therefore, the maximum sling
forces from SACS in this analysis will be used for Pad-eye design.

The maximum tension reported on slings are presented in below table. This excluded any the
combined effects of dynamic amplification (DAF), consequences factor (CF) and skew factor (SF).

5 TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS

5.1 General
This report presents two sea transportation conditions as:

• Sea transportation 1 : Sea transportation from Batam fabrication yard,

Indonesia to Nouakchott, Mauritania using Happy
Star (Biglift) barge.

• Sea transportation 2 : Sea transportation from Nouakchott, Mauritania to

FPSO offshore site using 300ft class cargo barge.

The methodology all same for both cases, only input data and results shall be separated in report

5.2 Introduction
A static analysis has been performed to determine the design forces for combinations of gravity,
barge motion induced accelerations, and wind loads. The weight of the model with all relevant loading
matches the WCR RSS structure weight in installation condition.

The Arch of RSS structure transportation supports are assigned as vertical only restraint for gravity
loads and pinned supports during transportation and the sea fasteners are considered as pinned
supports in the transportation analysis.

The sea-fastening design refer to ref.[6], The sea-fastening arrangement is indicative only for RSS
structural design check purposes. The sea-fastening design shall be de-coupled from barge, hence,
barge deformation, and barge stiffness are not necessary to be considered.

The Figure 26 indicates the Arch of RSS structure supports location and centre of rotation on barge
during transportation. Support condition considered in the structural analysis is as shown in Figure 28

Grillage (transportation support members) and sea-fastening are modelled, and two-stage analyses
are carried out to appraise the true load distribution through the vertical support and sea-fastening
members:

• Stage 1 Gravity loads are distributed on the four (04) vertical supports (without sea-
fastening) by providing full restraints.

• Stage 2 Motion induced unit loads are distributed to the four (04) vertical supports secured
by the sea-fastening braces. During transportation grillage is presumed to be tack welded so
the shears are transferred by grillage.

The combination of both analyses gives a realistic split of forces between the vertical supports and
sea-fastening braces. The forces are then combined using SACS COMBINE features with load
combination defined in combined input file. SACS POST processing is used to perform member and
joint code checks. Refer Figure 29 for the support boundary conditions.

Analysis is performed based on motion parameters specified in the RSS Design Premise Report [3].

Results of these two independent analyses are combined to obtain resultant member forces and joint
reactions. Structural members and tubular joints are code checked in accordance to AISC 9th Ed. and
API RP 2A-WSD with allowable stress increase factors as defined by Table 5

5.4 Transportation Wind Load

Wind loads are calculated based on transportation wind speed of 25m/s at 10m above MSL as per the
RSS Design Premise ref.[3]

SACS generated wind loads are used to derived wind forces for RSS structures. The WINDCARD
option in SACS is adopted to generate these wind loads

5.5 Barge Data

The Happy Star Vessel (Biglift) dimension considered for Arch RSS structure transportation analysis
(condition 1) is as follows, for details refer to Annex E:

• Length = 155.97 m
• Width = 29.00 m
• Depth = 13.20 m
• Draft = 9.10 m
The motion accelerations provided by Biglift have been provided at the COG of RSS Tower. Therefore,
the centre rotation input in SACS is RSS Tower COG coordinates and present in Figure 26

The 300ft class standard barge dimension considered for RSS Arch structure transportation analysis
(condition 2) is as follows, for details refer to Annex F:

• Length = 91.44m (300ft)

• Width = 27.432m (90ft)
• Depth = 6.096m (20ft)
The centre of rotation of the 300ft class standard barge is assumed in the middle of the barge with
free board taken as 40% of the barge depth and present in Figure 27

5.6 Transportation Model

The RSS Arch structure transportation model has developed from updated SACS model for RSS Arch
lifting Analysis dated 02 April 2020 with the following modification:

• Deleted the sling members.

• Remove lifting boundary conditions. Apply fixity at vertical support location.
• Translate model to simulate its actual location on barge and to place the model Origin (X=0,
Y=0) at the same location as barge center of rotation (COR).
• Modelled grillage and sea-fastening. Grillage and sea-fastening arrangement as per input from
Dubai CSE. All grillage and sea-fastening were modelled weightless.
The Arch RSS structure transportation configuration in is presented in Figure below.

5.9.3 Structural Steel Weight

Structural steel weight consists of:

1. Weight of the modelled primary structural members

2. Weight of non-modelled, secondary and tertiary steel
The weight of the modelled structure is generated by SACS program. The weights of the non-
modelled items are calculated and distributed at the appropriate location as joint/member loads.

The gravity loads considered for the analysis are summarized in Table below

5.14.3 Tubular Joints Check Results

The joint punching shear checks of all tubular-to-tubular connections are automatically code-checked
by SACS. The joint classification is also done automatically by the program based on the load path
and the joint geometry.

No one-third (1/3) increase in basic allowable stress is considered for transportation conditions for
conservative results as indicated in section 3.2

All tubular joints of RSS structure are checked against the requirements of API RP 2A-WSD, ref.[10]
which includes maximum load and strength check.

The detailed joint stress check results are given in Annex B

5.15 Conclusion
Analysis results show that all Arch of RSS structure members and joints stresses are within allowable
limits. Therefore, it can be concluded that Arch of RSS structure is adequately sized to resist the
anticipated load during transportation and lifting conditions.

The results of analyses present in this report show that the design of Arch of RSS is suitable for pre-
service conditions.

5.16 Recommendation
The current sea-fastening configuration assumed in the structured analysis shall be reflected in the
final sea-fastening design by Dubai CSE.
