Full title and description

ISO 13819-2:1995 — Petroleum and natural gas industries — Offshore structures — Part 2: Fixed steel structures. This part gives recommendations and design principles for steel, fixed offshore platforms (including substructures, topsides and foundations) and addresses considerations that apply through fabrication, transportation and installation; it also includes provisions applicable to specific regional conditions.

Abstract

The standard contains guidelines for the structural design of fixed steel offshore platforms used in the petroleum and natural gas industries. It specifies design principles, load considerations and verification approaches applicable to complete platform structures (substructure, topside and foundation) and the successive stages of their lifecycle (fabrication, transport and installation). ISO 13819-2:1995 has since been withdrawn and replaced by later consolidated standards for fixed steel offshore structures.

Scope

ISO 13819-2:1995 applies to the design of complete fixed steel offshore platform structures used in the petroleum and natural gas industries, covering substructures (e.g. jackets, caissons), topside structural arrangements and foundations. The scope includes specification of applicable actions (environmental and operational loads), design principles for strength, stability and fatigue, and guidance on design stages including fabrication, transportation and installation. The standard also provided regional provisions where local conditions required modified treatment of loads, foundation types or construction practice.

Key topics and requirements

• Design principles for fixed steel platforms (strength, stability and serviceability).
• Assessment of environmental actions: wave, wind, current, ice and seismic loading and their combinations.
• Fatigue and fracture control criteria for welded steel members and joints.
• Material selection, corrosion allowances and protection measures for offshore steel structures.
• Foundation and pile design principles, including guidance on grouted pile-to-sleeve connections and regional foundation provisions.
• Design checks and criteria covering fabrication, transportation and installation phases.
• Inspection, testing and maintenance considerations relevant to the design life of fixed platforms.

Typical use and users

Used by offshore structural engineers, design offices, classification societies, fabricators, project managers and regulatory authorities involved in the design, review and certification of fixed steel offshore platforms for the oil and gas industry. It was intended to harmonize design practice and provide common engineering principles for projects and national codes to reference.

Related standards

ISO 13819-2:1995 formed part of the ISO 13819 series on offshore structures (alongside ISO 13819-1:1995 for general requirements). It has been superseded by consolidated standards for fixed steel structures — notably ISO 19902 (first published 2007) and subsequent updates — and is related to ISO 19900-series documents that replaced earlier ISO 13819 parts.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 13819-2:1995 is an ISO international standard titled "Petroleum and natural gas industries — Offshore structures — Part 2: Fixed steel structures" that provided design guidance for fixed steel offshore platforms.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers structural design principles for fixed steel offshore platforms including loadings (waves, wind, current, seismic), strength and fatigue assessment, material and corrosion considerations, foundation design and guidance for fabrication, transportation and installation stages.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Offshore structural engineers, design firms, fabricators, classification societies, project engineers and regulators involved with the design, verification and lifecycle management of fixed steel offshore platforms.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 13819-2:1995 has been withdrawn and superseded by later standards for fixed steel offshore structures — principally ISO 19902 (first issued in 2007) and subsequent editions. It is therefore not current and should be replaced in practice by the newer ISO 19902 series documents.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it was part of the ISO 13819 series addressing offshore structures (for example ISO 13819-1:1995 for general requirements) and later work consolidated those parts into the ISO 19900-series for offshore structures.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Offshore, fixed steel platform, jacket, topside, foundation, design, fatigue, corrosion, grouted pile, installation, ISO 13819-2, petroleum and natural gas.
