Popis: ROSEAU is a slender deepwater compliant platform designed to support drilling and production facilities. It is rigidly piled to the bottom like a conventional jacket, its compliancy and its high first natural period being provided by the flexibility of the steel structure and by a stabiliser which entrains a large mass of water. Mathematical models have been used to analyse the behaviour of the structure and to calculate the maximum stresses and fatigue life of the members. Model tests have been run to correlate the calculations.
