AI Thread Summary
For seismic design codes applicable to subsea structures in the oil and gas industry, the 2003 International Building Code (IBC) and the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC) are recommended. These codes provide guidelines for seismic analysis and structural design. The discussion highlights the need to identify a seismicity level below which detailed analysis may not be necessary, with a reference point suggested at MSK VII. Participants emphasize the importance of adhering to recognized standards for safety and compliance. Overall, the conversation seeks clarity on appropriate seismic design codes for subsea applications.

Hi

I am looking for a "Western" seismic analysis design code? So something by BS, ISO, API, etc...

If there is one specific to the oil & gas industry and subsea strucutures, then great, but as this may not be available, any code on structural seismic design would do.

I essentially need to check which seismicity level below which analysis is not really needed - I think its above MSK VII but need confirmation...

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
