In this episode, Maithili Ghadge, podcast host, talks with Aditya Narote, a post-graduate structural engineer and graduate civil engineer. He is an Offshore Structural Engineer at Cybermarine. As an Offshore structural engineer for over two years, Aditya is responsible for checking the structural integrity and performing finite element analysis of structures.

Aditya talks about offshore structures. He explains the different types of offshore structures, the rules for offshore structures designing, loads considered for analysis, and the different types of analysis in offshore structures. He also shares some insights on structures present on superstructures and how offshore structures are installed. Tune in to learn more on this and other exciting topics!

Quotes

● The structures used for the exploration of oil and gas through drilling and mining are called offshore structures.

● Basically, the material used to construct offshore structures is steel due to its high yield, ease in fabrication, and versatile behaviour.

● In analysis, when the structure is installed, it undergoes different types of loading, to mention, environmental and vibration loading.

● Kinetic energy should be absorbed by the structures so that the stiffness of the structures is sufficient.
