SESAM Framework Program version 3.5 APPENDIX B 20-DEC-2007 B-1 THEORETICAL INFORMATION This Appendix includes additional information regarding. • Use of NORSOK code of practice. (Appendix B 1) • Use of EUROCODE / NS3472 code of practice. (Appendix B 2) • Automatic buckling factor calculations. (Appendix B 3) B1 Use of NORSOK code of practice The NORSOK code check is based on: NORSOK STANDARD, Design of Steel Structures, N-004, Rev. 2, October 2004. Ultimate Limit States: The code check covers check of tubular (pipe-sections) members and joints according to the following: • Tubular Members (section 6.3) • Tubular Joints (section 6.4) • Strength of Conical Transitions (section 6.5) It should be noticed that the member code check is a combined check for members in tension and compression. (The check is not split in Yield check and Stability check.) Hence, if a simple yield check is wanted, the NPD-NS3472 code of practice should be used. This code of practice must currently also be selected for code check of non-tubular profiles. For the member check and the conical transition check, local element forces and moments are used. For the punching shear check, the in-plane and out-of-plane reference system is used.
