Dear All,
I understand that only waves cause dynamic effect on offshore jackets and current does not contribute in the dynamic behaviour.
I have the following questions regarding to computation of DAF:
1. Is it correct to compute the base shear using ONLY Wave (instead of using Wave + Current)?
2. Will Wave-Current interaction have any impact on the Base shear (static & dynamic) computation?
Is it correct to apply the computed DAF to ONLY Wave component (instead of Wave + Current) during In-service analysis?
Thanks and Regards,
