Resumen

The repair of offshore platform jackets is an important research direction in marine engineering, among which the grouting clamp reinforcement is the most widely used. In order to solve the hydrodynamic force of the grouting hoop under the joint action of wave and current in the complex sea condition, the Morison formula is used to analyze the linear wave load on the grouting hoop; then, based on the Morison formula, load force under the combined action of the wave and the ocean current on the clamps in different installation states was determined; finally, the screw jack and car jack were used to carry out the experiment of preventing the clamp from falling off. The mechanical grouting clamp experiment and the wedge tooth experiment were carried out at the same time. The innovative design of the mechanical grouting clamp, analyzed analogously through relevant experimental results and numerical analysis results confirmed that the reinforcement and repair method of the designed grouting clamp is of great help to the safety and reliability of the offshore platform jacket.
