Guide for the Design and Construction of Fixed Offshore Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
ACI 357R-84 (R1997) is a standard that serves as a guide for the design and construction of fixed offshore concrete structures. These structures are specifically designed to be used in a marine environment, where they are subjected to various environmental conditions such as waves, currents, and corrosion.
The standard applies to fixed structures that are founded on the seabed and derive their stabilization primarily from the vertical forces of gravity. This means that the structures are designed to resist the forces exerted by the water and maintain their stability.
The standard includes guidelines for the use of reinforced and/or prestressed concrete in the construction of these offshore structures. It covers various aspects such as design considerations, construction techniques, material properties, and durability requirements to ensure the long-term performance and integrity of the structures in the harsh marine environment.
