Abstract
The codes of practice for API WSD and ISO LRFD are used in this book to find the reliability of Jacket platforms in Malaysia. ISO code uses LRFD methodology and its benefits are shown. Its advantages are highlighted for design of Jackets in offshore Malaysia. ISO code requires that environmental load factors should be location dependent. This code also requires that resistance and load uncertainty should be determined. Based on actual uncertainty, environmental load factors are ascertained using component, joint and system reliability. Reassessment of Jacket strength is performed using design load probability of failure with 10,000-year return period load. Probability of failure is updated using Bayesian updating technique with higher loads. The main conclusions, findings and achievements are listed in the following sections.
