Hurricane Andrew Effects on Offshore Platforms (Phase II - JIP)

This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP). Phase I was a calibration task to study the effects of Hurricane Andrew on platforms (i.e. survived, damaged, or failed). The outcomes were used to update current practices for assessing the ability of in-place platforms to withstand hurricanes. This calibration approach became part of API's RP 2A standard for assessing existing offshore platforms.
