One of the important items in offshore structure design is fatigue analysis. Because of existence of periodic loads derived by wave, sea current, wind, etc. this analysis has become one of the major analysis in basic design. Estimation of structure’s life that is generated from fatigue analysis is more important in operation of the offshore unit. In this paper according to the environment...
