2-Slip forming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
legs of the Troll A Deep Sea Oil Drilling Platform which stands on the sea floor in
water about 1000 feet (300 m) deep, has an overall height of 472 meters (1,549 ft)
and weighs 656,000 tons and has the distinction of being the tallest structure ever
moved (towed) by mankind. The platform stands on the sea floor 303 meters
(994 feet) below the surface of the sea and each of the continuous-slip-formed[1]
concrete cylindrical legs has an elevator that takes over nine minutes to travel[1] from
the platform above the waves to the sea floor. The walls of Troll A's legs are over 1
meter thick made of steel reinforced concrete formed in one continuous pour [1] and
each is mathematically a joined composite of several conical cylinders that flares out
smoothly to greater diameters at both the top and bottom, so each support is
somewhat wasp-waisted viewed in profile and circular in any cross-section. (See
picture at right)
The four legs are joined by a "Chord shortened", a reinforced concrete box
interconnecting the legs, but which has the designed function of damping out
unwanted potentially destructive wave-leg resonances by retuning the leg natural
frequencies.[1](Not present in the picture at right.) Each leg is also sub-divided along
its length into compartments a third of the way from each end which act as
independent water-tight compartments.[1] The legs use groups of six (40 m (131 ft)
tall[1] vacuum-anchors holding it fixed in the muck of the sea floor.
