DESCRIPTION
Emasa provides advanced engineering support for a variety of projects and complex structural challenges relative to the offshore industry. The projects assisted by Emasa are worldwide, including projects in the Baltic sea, in the North sea, in the straight of Taiwan, and others.
The scope of engineering performed by Emasa includes design and assessment of:
- Jacket structures
- Topside structures
- Transition pieces
- Mega piles
- Suction caissons (buckets)
- Miscellanea such as trunnions, saddles, pile skirts, etc.
For the engineering design of these items, Emasa employs a full range of advanced techniques of structural analyses, such as:
- Advanced soil-structure interaction (SSI) utilizing non-linear soil behaviour for foundations on mudmats, megapiles, pile groups, suction caissons, etc.
- Fatigue considerations both utilizing time-history analyses and spectral fatigue analyses.
- Full-fledged advanced non-linear solid finite element modelling of details, including fatigue behaviour and extraction of stress concentration factors.
- Utilization of super elements for transferring data between large-scale frame models and local solid finite-element models.
