Dog Plate & Tubular Support Subsea Template (Raker)

Plan View

Grillage Arrangement
Assumptions have been considered in the design as follow:

1. Lateral and Tension load will be taken by 6 plates inline with

the load

Design Load (Ref. Section 4.1.2)

Horizontal Load Fy := 451.77kN

Uplift Load Fup := 277.2kN

Material Properties

Yield Stress Fyield := 248MPa

Thickness Plate tpl := 25.4mm

Weld Thickness tw := 8mm

Outside Diameter OD := 1056.2mm

Rat Hole rat := 25mm
Number of Dogplate n := 6

Note:
Axial Compression check is not required since the load will be transfer through the
bearing contact to the tubular support.
