Offshore platforms in seismically active areas should be properly designed to survive within the face of intense earthquakes without a global structural collapse. This paper scrutinizes the seismic performance of a newly designed and established jacket type offshore platform based on the API-RP2A normalized response spectra during seismic events. A finite element model is developed from a typical jacket type offshore platform taking into the effect of the interaction among structure, pile, and soil components. The seismic responses of jacket type offshore platforms subjected to random earthquake excitations are evaluated by means of the power spectral density (PSD) analysis. Dynamic characteristics, the response function, output PSD and transfer functions for various elements of the platform are discussed. The spectrum compatible PSD is directly used to estimate the peak structural responses and determine the dynamic response of offshore jacket platforms that meet the required level of engineering practice for preliminary design.
