SDC Verifier supports ABS FPI Plate Buckling (2014), part of the Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations (July 2014 edition), enabling engineers to automate buckling strength assessments for plates in floating production units. The implementation ensures compliance with ABS requirements while streamlining fatigue-critical calculations in offshore structural design.
The ABS FPI Plate Buckling (2014) standard is part of the Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations issued by the American Bureau of Shipping in July 2014. It provides a detailed methodology for assessing the buckling and ultimate strength behavior of plate elements used in offshore floating structures.
The standard covers both local and global structural checks and is applicable to fundamental components such as deck plating, side shells, and internal bulkheads. It sets out calculation requirements to prevent failure from compressive, shear, and in-plane loading — ensuring compliance with classification society regulations and enhancing structural reliability under extreme environmental conditions.
Originally developed for floating production systems such as FPSOs, the standard supports safe, efficient design in a range of offshore applications.
