Le rôle de l'Ingénieur concepteur (Designer) d'un ouvrage offshore consiste à dimensionner les échantillons constitutifs de l'ouvrage de façon à résister aux sollicitations extérieures dans des conditions économiques raisonnables. Pour cela, il lui est nécessaire d'estimer les efforts exercés sur les ouvrages en particulier par l'environnement et notamment par la houle.
Actuellement ces efforts sont estimés en appliquant des modèles mathématiques de houle à partir de conditions océano-météorologiques observées sur le site d'implantation de l'ouvrage.
L'objet de ce chapitre est le développement des modèles mathématiques de la houle et de son observation sur le site d'implantation de l'ouvrage.
| Translation - English
One of the roles of a designer or conceptual engineer when designing an offshore structure is to proportion the consecutive sections of the structure in such a way so as to withstand exterior demands and stay within reasonable economic boundaries. In order to do this, he or she must have the means to estimate stresses exerted on the structure, particularly by the environment and more notably, by sea swell.
These stresses are currently estimated by applying mathematical models of sea swell to the oceano-meteorological conditions observed at the proposed installation site.
The objective of this chapter is to develop not only mathematical models of sea swell, but also the observation of this phenomenon at proposed installation sites of offshore structures.

1.3 Structural Analysis and Justification
The aim of this analysis is to prove to the Client that the parts which make up the structure comply with the specifications and regulations to be imposed throughout all phases of the works' life, without excess use of resources. | | French to English: Excerpt from client text on regulatory bodies in construction | Source text - French
La parution officielle de la première et seule édition de l’API RP 2A LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) est fondée, comme son nom l’indique, sur l’utilisation de coefficients partiels différents appliqués aux résistances caractéristiques du matériau et aux valeurs nominales des charges, selon la théorie du semi-probabilisme ou des états limites, comme les règles du DNV. | Translation - English
The publication of the first and only edition of API-RP2A LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) is based, as its name suggests, on the use of different partial coefficients applied to the characteristic resistances of materials and nominal load values, according to semi-probabilistic design or limit state design, as in the DNV (Det Norske Veritas) rules. |
