Abstract
Framed off-shore structures are normally made of tubular members. These members are prone
to damage by collision from supply boats or by the impact of dropped objects.
Experimental and theoretical work has indicated that such damage can cause a significant
loss of member strength and that grouting is an effective way of repair for tubular
members with a moderate degree of damage. An existing numerical approach based on the
method of orthogonalised load-deflection states has been successfully employed to
establish the pre and post-ultimate force-displacement relationships of damaged tubes and
grout filled damaged tubes. The paper comprises of an explanation of the analytical
method used, adaptation of the method for analysis of fully grout filled damaged tubes
and the presentation of the results. A comparison is made between the experimental and
analytical results.
