ABS OS Plate Buckling (2022)

Buckling and Ultimate Strength Verification for Offshore Structures

SDC Verifier supports the ABS OS Plate Buckling (2022) standard — implemented according to the ABS Requirements for Buckling and Ultimate Strength Assessment for Offshore Structures, July 2022. This section covers compliance with Subsection 3/3: Plate Panels.

About Standard

The ABS OS Plate Buckling (2022) standard is based on Subsection 3/3 of the ABS Requirements for Buckling and Ultimate Strength Assessment for Offshore Structures, issued in July 2022. It outlines design rules for evaluating the buckling and ultimate strength of plate panels in offshore steel structures.

These requirements ensure structural reliability by verifying that local plate behavior under compressive and shear loads stays within safety margins. The checks cover all fundamental aspects of plate integrity — stress direction, load combinations, slenderness, and material properties.

ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) is one of the world’s leading classification societies, providing technical standards that support safe and sustainable offshore engineering.
