ISO 19902 (1st, 2007)

Tubular member strength and joint verification for fixed steel offshore structures.

Compliant with ISO 19902:2007 – applicable to jackets, caissons, mono towers, and braced offshore frameworks.

About Standard

SDC Verifier

open tutorial How to Implement

ISO 19902:2007 provides detailed design and verification procedures for tubular structural members and joint connections in offshore platforms.

Scope of Application:

Petroleum and natural gas industries
Cylindrical members with:
- Thickness ≥ 6 mm
- D/t < 120
- Yield strength < 500 MPa

Implemented Checks in SDC Verifier:

Member Strength Checks using recognized Beam Member Finder data
Hydrostatic Load Verification with support for wave velocity, still water level, and depth-based input
Combined Use with AISC 360-10 for non-tubular shapes
Joint Check Tool for axial, bending, and overlapping brace capacity validation

Joint Check Highlights:

Automatic recognition of chords and braces
Support for K, TY, and X joint classifications
Gap and overlap-based calculations with axial, moment, and combined utilization
Validation for critical joints, effective length, and bracing stiffness

Other Features:

Auto-imports material properties (yield/tensile) from the model
Capped-end actions and resistance factors supported
Strength factors (Qu, Qf, Qg) computed per standard Section 14.3
Connection plotting and interactive preview tools included

This implementation supports structural design, integrity assessment, and offshore compliance across platforms requiring ISO verification.
