1 API 4F Design Study: ASD 89 to LRFD 05 Mike Effenberger, P.E Sathish Ramamoorthy, Ph.D., P.E. June, 2013; PN Document No. SES PPT 002,Rev.0 Preliminary subject to QA check

2 Post Presentation Note This presentation was presented at the API Conference in Washington DC in the summer of Shortly before the presentation it was discovered that the SAP2000 conversion program had random errors in the conversion of the effective length values in the converted SAP2000 file. Due to the effective length errors, comparison results might have errors and would provide results that could result in incorrect conclusions. Therefore numerical results have been removed from the presentation. The prior reported errors (2012) in the element numbering system and loads applied to the models were corrected. Also all models have been converted from StruCAD to SAP2000. Presentation provides the format that the results will be reported. Changes or updates to the 2012 presentation are provided in red font. (to show why the presentation has red color for certain items) 2

5 Background API 4F, Specification for Drilling and Well Servicing Structures states requirements and gives recommendations for suitable steel structures for drilling and well servicing operations API 4F specifies the steel structures to be designed in accordance with Allowable Stress Design/Elastic design per AISC API 4F committee is interested in going from the Allowable Stress Design to the latest strength design Allowable Strength Design (ASD)/Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) provision in AISC specification. Latest AISC specification is AISC The 2010 edition supersedes and is an update of the 2005 edition. The 2010 edition is yet to be supported by Computer Programs. It is in draft mode in latest Beta Version. 5

6 Background In the LRFD design methodology, design results are affected by the load factors selected for the individual loads (self weight, hook load, and environmental loads) For building design, load factors and load combinations are specified in ASCE 7, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures The load factors are generally estimated using the statistical data for the individual loads and reliability concepts Statistical data for Hook load is not readily available. Therefore, the load factors given in ASCE 7 05 was initially used for the design study (first case evaluation). The committee changed the load factors to factors based on DnV OS C101. 6

7 Objectives Paper documenting the experience of other codes/specification while changing from ASD89 to ASD05 or LRFD05 methodology Perform design study on six structures (workover, mast, derrick & substructure) designed using the ASD and LRFD design provisions. Hook load was initially considered a live load with a load factor of 1.6 (ASCE 7, First Case Evaluation) Decided by the API 4F work group on 02/22/2012 Load Factors changed by committee on 6/5/2013 using factors based on DnV Load Factors. Hook, Rotary, and Setback changed to Load Factor similar to Dead Load of

8 Methodology Design performed using the Allowable Stress Design/Elastic Design provisions in AISC (ASD89) will be the base case. The structures will be evaluated according to ASD89 and ASD05 / LRFD05 design provisions per AISC specification. The design results between the Elastic design (89) and Strength Design (05) will be compared for evaluation. 8

18 StruCAD to SAP2000 Conversion StruCAD models were imported in SAP. The imported models were compared with the StruCAD models. In general, most of the model features are imported without any issues. However, there are few StruCAD commands/features that are not imported in SAP. These are manually edited in the imported model or using the SPD StruCAD option. SAP technical support and development team were notified about the import issues. 18

19 StruCAD to SAP 2000 Conversion Outstanding issues Effective Length Factors not imported Effective length specified/used in the StruCAD model is entered as Design Overwrites in SAP model. Conversion not fully corrected. Wind Loads/Area Cards are not imported Wind loads are converted to Member and Joint Loads in StruCAD (Using SPD file) and imported in SAP Acceleration Loads Discrepancy in the base reactions for the acceleration loads in the StruCAD and SAP models. Therefore, the acceleration loads are converted to Member/joint loads in StruCAD (Using SPD file) and then imported in SAP 19

20 StruCAD to SAP 2000 Conversion Design issues Cm factor Difference in calculating the Cm factor between StruCAD and SAP (Beta version has special provision to Ignore lateral loads) Brace Spacing StruCAD has option to input the brace spacing for estimating the effective length. SAP does not have an equivalent parameter to modify. 20

For the current API 4F study, to study the effect of changes in the specification for member strength, the B1 and B2 factor of 1.0 was used. Comparison of design results between the ASD 05 (First order) and ASD 89 will show the effect of changes in specifications.
