Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD) is a structural analysis that can be used to review structural performance. This method is increasingly popular to be used in the earthquake-prone area. This method is based on energy method that can be applied to steel or concrete structures. Meanwhile, Indonesia has already SNI 1726:2102 to be used as a guide in designing the thrust load to review the level of structural performance. Both of these things need to be used as a reference in areas that were initially considered safe from the earthquake but based on the development of earthquake micro zonation maps, it is very possible to become potential areas that also become earthquake regions. For this reason, the case of the structure that was built in the Pekanbaru area was taken. From the analyses of structural behavior, the structure that applied PBPD has greater displacement than the structures that apply the thrust load of SNI 1726: 2012. The percentage of displacement that occurred was 8-37 %. Based on performance analysis, the structures according to PBPD shows a better level of performance to the application of SNI 1726: 2012 thrust load.

Partial factors are commonly based on expert judgements and on calibration to previous design formats. This inevitably results in unbalanced structural reliability for different types of construction materials, loads and limit states. Probabilistic calibration makes it possible to account for plentiful requirements on structural performance, environmental conditions, production and execution quality etc. In the light of ongoing revisions of Eurocodes and the development of National Annexes, the study overviews the methodology of probabilistic calibration, provides input data for models of basic variables and illustrates the application by a case study. It appears that the partial factors recommended in the current standards provide for a lower reliability level than that indicated in EN 1990. Different values should be considered for the partial factors for imposed, wind and snow loads, appreciating the distinct nature of uncertainties in their load effects.

Conventional floatover deck (FOD) installation on a jacket substructure requires the top of the structure to be recessed appropriately, either in the longitudinal or transverse direction to accommodate the vessel transporting the deck. The recess direction is very important to the design of the jacket and influences the outfitting of appurtenances, the shape of the deck and the floatover concept as a whole. This study investigates the structural integrity of typical longitudinal and transverse jackets suitable for FOD installation under both inplace and installation conditions. The study also assesses the structural efficiency of the two options under various installation conditions and benchmarks their structural performance against more conventional jackets associated with lift-installed decks.
