Behaviour and strength of stiffened tubular T- and DT-joints in offshore structures

This thesis addresses the understanding of the static strength and behaviour of internally ring stiffened T- and DT-joints under axial brace loading. Initial numerical work verifies the appropriateness of the Finite Element (F.E.) modelling technique and the use of the F.E. Method as an analysis too...
