Volume 4, Issue 2 , July 2023, , Pages 259-267

https://doi.org/10.22044/rera.2023.12492.1187

Abstract
  Compliant offshore tension leg platforms (TLP) are adaptive platforms with a vertical mooring system. These types of platforms are usually used in deep water. Adding sufficient initial tension to the mooring, the vertical movements of the structure will be reduced. Tendons, body, and deck are different ...  Read More
