Oil and gas industries including lower carbon energy — Specific requirements for offshore structures — Part 2: Seismic design procedures and criteria

This document contains requirements for defining the seismic design procedures and criteria for offshore structures; guidance on the requirements is included in Annex A. The requirements focus on fixed steel offshore structures and fixed concrete offshore structures. The effects of seismic events on floating structures and partially buoyant structures are briefly discussed. The site-specific assessment of jack-ups in elevated condition is only covered in this document to the extent that the requirements are applicable. Only earthquake-induced ground motions are addressed in detail. Other geologically induced hazards such as liquefaction, slope instability, faults, tsunamis, mud volcanoes and shock waves are mentioned and briefly discussed. The requirements are intended to reduce risks to persons, the environment, and assets to the lowest levels that are reasonably practicable. This intent is achieved by using: a) seismic design procedures which are dependent on the exposure level of the offshore structure and the expected intensity of seismic events; b) a two-level seismic design check in which the structure is designed to the ultimate limit state (ULS) for strength and stiffness and then checked to abnormal environmental events or the abnormal limit state (ALS) to ensure that it meets reserve strength and energy dissipation requirements. Procedures and requirements for a site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) are addressed for offshore structures in high seismic areas and/or with high exposure levels. However, a thorough explanation of PSHA procedures is not included. Where a simplified design approach is allowed, worldwide offshore maps, which are included in Annex B, show the intensity of ground shaking corresponding to a return period of 1 000 years. In such cases, these maps can be used with corresponding scale factors to determine appropriate seismic actions for the design of a structure, unless more detailed information is available from local code or site-specific study. NOTE For design of fixed steel offshore structures, further specific requirements and recommended values of design parameters (e.g. partial action and resistance factors) are included in ISO 19902, while those for fixed concrete offshore structures are contained in ISO 19903. Seismic requirements for floating structures are contained in ISO 19904, for site-specific assessment of jack-ups and other MOUs in the ISO 19905 series, for arctic structures in ISO 19906 and for topsides structures in ISO 19901‑3.

Industries du pétrole et du gaz, y compris les énergies à faible teneur en carbone — Exigences spécifiques relatives aux structures en mer — Partie 2: Procédures de conception et critères sismiques

Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives à la définition des procédures et critères de conception parasismique pour les structures en mer; les recommandations concernant les exigences sont indiquées dans l'Annexe A. Les exigences portent sur les structures en mer fixes en acier et en béton. Les effets des événements sismiques sur les structures flottantes et partiellement flottantes sont brièvement décrits. L'évaluation, spécifique au site, des plates-formes auto-élévatrices en situation surélevée est uniquement traitée dans le présent document dans la mesure où les exigences sont applicables. Seuls les mouvements du sol induits par des séismes sont traités en détail. D'autres risques géologiques tels que la liquéfaction, l'instabilité des pentes, les failles, les tsunamis, les volcans de boue et les ondes de choc sont également mentionnés et brièvement décrits. Les exigences sont destinées à réduire les risques encourus par les personnes, l'environnement et les installations au niveau le plus bas qui soit raisonnablement réalisable. Ce résultat est obtenu à l'aide: a) de procédures de conception parasismique qui dépendent du niveau d'exposition de la structure en mer et de l'intensité prévue des événements sismiques; b) d'un contrôle de conception parasismique à deux niveaux, dans lequel la structure est conçue selon l'état limite ultime (ULS) en matière de résistance et de rigidité avant d'être vérifiée par rapport à des événements environnementaux anormaux ou à l'état limite anormal (ALS), afin de garantir qu'elle satisfait aux exigences de réserve de résistance et de dissipation d'énergie. Les procédures et exigences s'appliquant à la réalisation d'une analyse probabiliste de l'aléa sismique (PSHA), spécifique au site, sont exposées pour les structures en mer installées dans des zones à forte activité sismique et/ou fortement exposées. Cependant, les procédures de l'étude PSHA ne sont pas expliquées de manière approfondie. Lorsqu'une approche de conception simplifiée est admise, des cartes des eaux mondiales, incluses dans l'Annexe B, indiquent l'intensité des secousses du sol pour une période de retour de 1 000 ans. Dans de tels cas, ces cartes peuvent être utilisées avec les facteurs d'échelle correspondants pour déterminer les actions sismiques appropriées pour la conception d'une structure, sauf si des informations plus détaillées sont fournies par un code local ou une étude spécifique au site. NOTE Pour la conception des structures en mer fixes en acier, d'autres exigences spécifiques et des valeurs recommandées des paramètres de conception (par exemple: coefficients d'action et de résistance partiels) sont indiquées dans l'ISO 19902, tandis que celles relatives aux structures en mer fixes en béton sont énoncées dans l'ISO 19903. L'ISO 19904 intègre des exigences parasismiques relatives aux structures flottantes, la série ISO 19905 des exigences relatives à l'évaluation spécifique au site de plates-formes auto-élévatrices et autres MOU, l'ISO 19906 des exigences relatives aux structures arctiques et l'ISO 19901‑3 des exigences relatives aux superstructures.

Overview

ISO/FDIS 19901-2: Oil and gas industries including lower carbon energy - Specific requirements for offshore structures - Part 2: Seismic design procedures and criteria sets out international requirements for the seismic design and assessment of offshore structures. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 67, this standard primarily addresses fixed steel and fixed concrete offshore structures and offers guidance for assessing the seismic responses of floating and partially buoyant platforms. The standard details the processes for defining seismic design procedures, establishing seismic criteria, and evaluating specific seismic hazards including earthquake-induced ground motion and related geohazards such as liquefaction, slope instability, and tsunamis.

Key Topics

  • Seismic Design Procedures: The standard emphasizes risk mitigation for structures through exposure-dependent seismic design, site-specific assessments, and structural verification at different limit states.
  • Structural Types Covered: Requirements and design checks are mainly focused on fixed steel and concrete platforms. Floating structures and jack-ups are discussed only as far as applicable.
  • Seismic Hazards Addressed:
    • Earthquake-induced ground motion (primary focus)
    • Liquefaction and slope instability
    • Tsunamis, mud volcano activity, and seabed fault movement
    • Effects on the structure and critical safety systems
  • Performance Objectives: Life-safety and business-disruption risks are minimized through rigorous verification at two limit states:
    • Ultimate/Abnormal Limit State (ULS/ALS) for reserve strength and energy dissipation under rare, intense earthquakes
    • Damage Limitation (DL) for functional integrity and reparability during more likely, less intense events
  • Seismic Risk Categorization: Structures are classified into seismic risk categories based on consequence levels and seismic hazard exposure using hazard maps and site-specific studies.
  • Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA): The standard provides requirements (but not detailed procedures) for conducting PSHA for critical structures in high seismic zones.

Applications

ISO/FDIS 19901-2 is essential for professionals involved in the design, construction, and assessment of offshore platforms within the oil, gas, and emerging lower carbon energy sectors. Key applications include:

  • Design of Fixed Offshore Structures: Ensures design compliance for new fixed steel and concrete structures by establishing seismic performance and reliability goals.
  • Site-Specific Seismic Assessment: Mandates evaluation methods tailored to the structure’s location, using site-specific or globally referenced seismic hazard data.
  • Retrofit and Re-qualification: Guidance is applicable when reassessing existing facilities for upgrades, extended operation, or regulatory changes.
  • Floating Structures and Mobile Units: While the primary focus is on fixed structures, the document addresses floating platforms and jack-ups to the extent relevant, informing adaptation of seismic procedures from fixed platforms.
  • Safety and Risk Management: Supports asset managers and regulators in risk assessment to ensure seismic resilience and business continuity through quantifiable performance objectives.

Related Standards

ISO/FDIS 19901-2 is part of a wider suite of international standards addressing offshore structure safety and design, including:

  • ISO 19900: General design requirements for offshore structures
  • ISO 19902: Supplementary requirements for fixed steel offshore structures
  • ISO 19903: Requirements for fixed concrete offshore structures
  • ISO 19904: Floating offshore structures - seismic design considerations
  • ISO 19905 Series: Site-specific assessment for jack-ups and mobile offshore units (MOUs)
  • ISO 19906: Arctic offshore structures - specific seismic and environmental considerations
  • ISO 19901-3: Topsides structure design and assessment requirements

These cross-references ensure comprehensive coverage of all offshore structure types, environmental conditions, and seismic risk scenarios. Integrating ISO/FDIS 19901-2 with related standards ensures robust and reliable offshore facility design, supporting safety, operational integrity, and regulatory compliance.

Introduction
The International Standards on offshore structures prepared by TC 67 address design requirements and
assessments of all offshore structures used in the energy sector worldwide. Through their application, the
intention is to achieve reliability levels appropriate for normally occupied and normally unoccupied offshore
structures, whatever the type of structure and the nature or combination of the materials used.
Structural integrity is an overall concept comprising models for describing actions, structural analyses,
design or assessment rules, safety elements, workmanship, quality control procedures and national
requirements, all of which are mutually dependent. The modification of one aspect of design or assessment
in isolation can disturb the balance of reliability inherent in the overall concept or structural system. The
implications involved in modifications, therefore, need to be considered in relation to the overall reliability
of all offshore structural systems.
The International Standards on offshore structures prepared by TC 67 are intended to provide a wide
latitude in the choice of structural configurations, materials, and techniques without hindering innovation.
Sound engineering judgement is, therefore, necessary in the use of these International Standards.
The overall concept of structural integrity is described above. Some additional considerations apply for
seismic design. These include the magnitude and probability of seismic events, the use and importance of
the offshore structure, the robustness of the structure under consideration and the allowable damage due
to seismic actions with different probabilities. All of these, and any other relevant information, need to be
considered in relation to the overall reliability of the structure.
Seismic conditions vary widely around the world, and the design criteria depend primarily on observations
of historical seismic events together with consideration of seismotectonics and local soil conditions. In many
cases, site-specific seismic hazard assessments will be required to complete the design or assessment of a
structure.
This document is intended to provide general seismic design procedures for different types of offshore
structures, and a framework for the derivation of seismic design criteria. Further requirements are
contained within the general requirements International Standard, ISO 19900, and within the structure-
specific International Standards, ISO 19902, ISO 19903, ISO 19904, and ISO 19906. The consideration of
seismic events in connection with mobile offshore units is addressed in ISO 19905.

— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
abnormal level earthquake
ALE
intense earthquake of abnormal severity with a very low probability of occurring during the life of the
structure, generally of return period in the 1 000’s of years.
Note 1 to entry: The ALE event is comparable to the abnormal event in the design of fixed structures that are described
[6] [7]
in ISO 19902 and ISO 19903 .
3.2
attenuation
decay of seismic waves as they travel from the earthquake source to the site under consideration.

ISO/DIS 19901-2:2024(en)
3.3
deaggregation
separation of seismic hazard contribution from different faults and seismic source zones
3.4
escape and evacuation system
system provided on the offshore structure to facilitate escape and evacuation in an emergency.
EXAMPLE Passageways, chutes, ladders, life rafts and helidecks.
3.5
extreme level earthquake
ELE
strong earthquake with a reasonable probability of occurring during the life of the structure, generally of
return period in the 100’s of years.
3.6
fault movement
movement occurring on a fault during an earthquake.
3.7
ground motion
accelerations, velocities or displacements of the ground produced by seismic waves radiating away from
earthquake sources.
Note 1 to entry: A fixed offshore structure is founded in or on the seabed (3.17) and consequently only seabed
motions are of significance. The expression "ground motions" is used rather than seabed motions for consistency of
terminology with seismic design for onshore structures.
Note 2 to entry: Ground motions can be at a specific depth or over a specific region within the seabed.
3.8
liquefaction
fluidity of soil due to the increase in pore pressures caused by earthquake action under undrained conditions.
3.9
modal combination
combination of response values associated with each dynamic mode of a structure.
3.10
mud volcano
diapiric intrusion of plastic clay causing high pressure gas-water seepages which carry mud, fragments of
rock (and occasionally oil) to the surface.
Note 1 to entry: The surface expression of a mud volcano is a cone of mud with continuous or intermittent gas escaping
through the mud.
3.11
probabilistic seismic hazard analysis
PSHA
framework permitting the identification, quantification, and rational combination of uncertainties in
earthquakes' intensity, location, rate of recurrence and variations in ground motion (3.7) characteristics.
3.12
probability of exceedance
probability that a variable (or that an event) exceeds a specified reference level given exposure time.
EXAMPLE The annual probability of exceedance of a specified magnitude of ground acceleration, ground velocity
or ground displacement.
ISO/DIS 19901-2:2024(en)
3.13

EXAMPLE Gas detection, emergency shutdown, fire protection, and their control systems.
3.15
sea floor
interface between the sea and the seabed (3.17)
3.16
seabed slide
failure of seabed (3.17) slopes
3.17
seabed
soil material below the sea in which a structure is founded.
3.18
seismic risk category
SRC
category defined from the consequence level and the intensity of seismic motions (i.e., the spectral
acceleration having an annual probability of exceedance of 1/1 000).
3.19
seismic hazard curve

5 Seismic hazards
5.1 Seismic design and assessment of offshore structures shall include the effect of ground motions due to
earthquakes.
5.2 The design and assessment of offshore structures shall also include the effects of the following seismic
hazardous events, as developed by specialists in geologic site hazards:
a) soil liquefaction.
b) seabed slide.
c) fault movement.
d) tsunamis.
e) mud volcanoes.
f) velocity pulse from directivity effects.
6 Performance objectives, limit states and damage states
6.1 General
6.1.1 The risks, due to the structure being exposed to seismic hazardous events, shall be demonstrated to
be tolerable in conformance with 6.1.2 to 6.1.5.
NOTE 19901-2 requirements will result in the structure having sufficient strength and ductility such that the
risks (life-safety, environmental-pollution, and business-disruption) are tolerable when the structure is exposed to
seismic hazardous events as defined by the hazard curve for the site.
6.1.2 The structure shall meet the performance objectives (as defined in 6.3).
6.1.3 Demonstration that the structure meets the performance objectives shall be by limit state
verification in conformance with ISO 19900.
6.1.4 The performance objective for life-safety risk, typically associated with the ALE, shall specify the
maximum tolerable annual probability that the (damage) state of structure can exceed the Near Collapse
(NC) limit state.
NOTE 1 the NC limit state is described in 6.2.1. When the state of the structure is at the NC limit state, the structural
system remains stable, but one or more components can have failed. Since the structure remains stable and does not
collapse, fatalities are limited or avoided following the seismic event, and thus the life- life-safety consequence is
negligible
ISO/DIS 19901-2:2024(en)
6.1.5 The performance objective for business-disruption risk, typically associated with the ELE, shall
specify the maximum tolerable annual probability that the (damage) state of structure can exceed the
Damage Limitation (DL) limit state.
NOTE 1 the DL limit state is described in 6.2.2. When the state of the structure is at the DL limit state, the structural
system remains stable, but lateral system of the structure (braces, joints, and piles) can have strains approaching the
yield strain. Any damage is localised and readily repairable and thus the functionality of the facility is restored in a
short time scale following the seismic event, and thus the business-disruption consequence is tolerable.
Limit state verification for the DL and NC limit states shall be in conformance with clauses 6 to 10, as
illustrated in Figure 1.
ISO/DIS 19901-2:2024(en)
Figure 1 — Steps for limit state verification
NOTE limit state verification of SRC 3 facilities can be by clause 8 or clause 9

ISO/DIS 19901-2:2024(en)
6.2 Limit states and damage states
6.2.1 The state of the structure at the Near Collapse (NC) limit state associated with the ALE:
a) shall not include collapse of the structure’s gravity system (i.e. legs, soil axial capacity and pile to leg
connection) or collapse of the sub-system that supports the living quarters.
b) may include damage to members (e.g., plastic strains, plastic local buckling in steel or spalling in
concrete).
c) may include severed braces (by fracture or low-cycle fatigue).
d) may include plasticity at joints.
e) may include collapse or fracture of joints.
f) may include plastic tensile strain less than the fracture strain in piles.
NOTE DNV-RP-C208 provides guidance on fracture limits for local strain.
g) shall not include damage to safety systems, escape routes, and evacuation systems that prevent their
functionality.
h) shall not include loss of supports for critical hydrocarbon equipment that could lead to escalation by
loss of process containment (LOPC).
i) shall not include collapse of the living quarters, masts, derricks, flare structures and other safety
critical structures.
6.2.2 The state of the structure at the Damage Limitation (DL) limit state associated with the ELE:
a) shall not include damage to the gravity system components of the structure (i.e. legs, soil axial capacity
and pile to leg connection).
b) shall not include damage due to brittle mechanisms (e.g., flexural buckling, local buckling in steel or
spalling in concrete).
NOTE ISO 19902 requires the seismic action is increased by a factor ofC for code checks of leg members
r
when the structure is subjected to seismic actions of intensity S
aE, LE
c) should limit strains at the outer fibre of braces, joints, and piles (i.e. bending plus axial strain) to the
yield strain.
NOTE ISO 19902 requires the lateral system (braces, joints, and piles) are dimensioned for ductility and thus
can plastically strain without local buckling during seismic actions of intensity S
aA, LE
d) shall not include damage to safety systems, escape routes, and evacuation systems that prevent their
functionality.
e) shall not include damage to pipelines, conductors, risers, and other safety-critical components due to
displacements at mudline elevation of the structure.
f) shall not include damage due to toppling of topsides equipment and cable trays.
g) shall not include damage to masts, derricks, and flare structures.
h) shall not include damage to sliding supports that prevent their functionality.
i) shall not include damage to piping systems that prevents their functionality due to differential
displacement of supports.
j) should not include damage that will result in dropped objects.

ISO/DIS 19901-2:2024(en)
6.3 Performance objectives
6.3.1 The NC limit state verification of the structure shall be demonstrated for the ALE event in
conformance with 6.3.2.
6.3.2 The annual probability of the structure exceeding the NC limit state, as defined in 6.2.1, shall not be
greater than the value of P listed in Table 1.

6.3.3 The maximum annual probability of exceeding the NC limit state may be less than listed in Table 1 if
specified by the operator or regulator.
6.3.4 The DL limit state verification of the structure shall be demonstrated in conformance with the ELE
events defined in 6.3.5.

6.4 Seismic risk category
6.4.1 The facility shall be classed by seismic risk category (SRC) in conformance with Table 3.
NOTE SRC is a function of consequence level and site seismic zone.

ISO/DIS 19901-2:2024(en)
6.4.2 Site seismic zone shall be determined from the 1,0 s horizontal spectral acceleration maps in
Annex B or from a site specific seismic hazard study.

0,26 g to 0,45 g 3 SRC 4 SRC 3 SRC 2

6.4.3 For seismic design situations, a structure shall not be classified as consequence level L2 unless
it is normally unoccupied (except for brief periods of time such as inspection and maintenance), but with
environmental-pollution consequence level greater than L3.
NOTE It is assumed that no reliable forewarning of seismic actions is feasible and, consequently, it is not possible
to evacuate prior to an earthquake.
6.5 DL limit state verification (using hazardous events with intensity = S )
aE, LE
6.5.1 S shall be determined in conformance with clause 8 or clause 9, depending on the SRC (as
aE, LE
described in 6.8).
6.5.2 DL limit state verification shall be performed using:
a) actions arising from ground motion time histories where each ground motion has a spectral acceleration,
at the sway period of the structure, defined by S .
aE, LE
b) representative capacities of members, joints, piles, and soil, as defined in ISO 19900.
NOTE clause 7 provides analysis types and requirements to determine the above actions.
6.5.3 DL limit state verification of the structure shall be deemed to have been demonstrated provided
ISO 19902:2020 formula 11.5-1 and 11.5-2 are satisfied.
6.6 NC limit state verification (using hazardous events with intensity = S )
aA, LE
6.5.1 S shall be determined in conformance with clause 8 or clause 9, depending on the SRC (as
aA, LE
described in 6.8).
6.6.1 NC limit state verification shall be performed using:
a) actions arising from ground motion time histories where each ground motion has a spectral acceleration,
at the sway period of the structure, defined by S .
aA, LE
b) mean capacities of members, joints, piles, and soil (by use of mean yield stress, mean component
capacities and expected soil capacity)
NOTE 1 representative capacities, R , as defined in ISO 19900, can be used to avoid determining the mean
k
capacities, however, this introduces conservatism into the NC limit state verification.
NOTE 2 clause 7 provides analysis types and requirements to determine the above actions.

ISO/DIS 19901-2:2024(en)
6.6.2 NC limit state verification of the structure shall be deemed to have been demonstrated provided
that no more than 3 of 7 ground motion records (each having a spectral acceleration at the sway period of
the structure defined by S ) cause collapse of the structure in a nonlinear time-history analysis.
aA, LE
6.7 Design procedure
6.7.1 The design procedure shall follow either:
a) the two-stage procedure described in 6.7.2
b) the three-stage procedure described in 6.7.3
NOTE the basis of the three-stage procedure is similar to that for the two-stage procedure, but the structure is
more likely to achieve the NC limit state verification without re-sizing members or joints.
6.7.2 Two-stage seismic design procedure
The two-stage design procedure consists of two steps as explained in the following and shown in Figure 2:
Figure 2 — Two-stage seismic design procedure
Stage 1. ELE Linear Design Checks
Perform linear ELE Response spectra analyses:
— DL limit state verification shall be satisfied for jacket braces and foundation pile stresses (mainly due to
bending).
Stage 2. ALE Nonlinear Verification
Perform verification nonlinear ALE analyses:
— Member checks – NC Limit state verification shall be satisfied for all the elements
— System checks – confirm the NC limit state is not reached before the ALE event
— Joint 100 % strength requirement – ensure braces fail before joints

ISO/DIS 19901-2:2024(en)
— Joint 100 % strength requirement may be relaxed when using an ALE nonlinear time history analysis or
nonlinear pushover analysis
NOTE nonlinear time history analysis or pushover analysis provide confidence in the joints meeting the NC limit
state. When performed correctly, nonlinear pushover analysis is a more rigorous check of joint strength than time-
history analysis.
6.7.3 Three-stage seismic design procedure
The three-stage design procedure consists of three steps as explained in the following and shown in Figure 3:
Figure 3 — Three-stage seismic design procedure
Stage 1. ELE Linear Design Checks
Perform linear ELE Response spectra analyses:
— DL limit state verification shall be satisfied for jacket braces and foundation pile stresses (mainly due to
bending).
— Designer may run linear ELE analyses using a lower C (see 9.5) for piles relative to the jacket structure.
r
NOTE using a linear ELE design check twice, once for jacket and the second for piles, with a lower Cr value for the
piles, limits failure away from the piles. This provides a check of the jacket separate from the foundation.
Stage 2. ALE Linear Design Checks
Perform linear ALE (ELE x Cr) response spectra analyses:
— DL limit state verification shall be satisfied for all the gravity-carrying members:
a. Legs;
b. Pile in compression;
c. Pile-soil axial resistance;
d. Joint cans
NOTE by ensuring linear performance of gravity-carrying members, nonlinearity for the ALE analysis is limited
to bending elements (e.g. bracing) which are ductile elements.

ISO/DIS 19901-2:2024(en)
Stage 3. ALE Nonlinear Verification
Perform verification nonlinear ALE analyses:
— Member checks – NC limit state verification shall be satisfied for all the elements
— System checks – confirm than NC limit state is not reached before the ALE event
— Joint 100 % strength requirement may be relaxed when using an ALE nonlinear time history analysis or
nonlinear pushover analysis
NOTE nonlinear time history analysis or pushover analysis provide confidence in the joints meeting the NC limit
state. When performed correctly, nonlinear pushover analysis is a more rigorous check of joint strength than time-
history analysis.
6.8 Methods for limit state verification
6.8.1 General
6.8.1.1 The limit state verification methods shall depend on the Seismic Risk Category as described in the
following clauses.

5 Seismic hazards
5.1 Seismic design and assessment of offshore structures shall include the effect of ground motions due to
earthquakes.
5.2 In addition to the effect of ground motion, design and assessment of offshore structures shall also
include the effects of the following seismic hazardous events, as developed by specialists in geologic site
hazards:
a) soil liquefaction,
b) seabed slide,
c) fault surface displacement,
d) tsunamis,
e) mud volcanoes,
f) velocity pulse from directivity effects (earthquake-induced shock wave in the water column typically
associated with volcanic eruptions).
NOTE Provisions for seismic design and assessment of floating structures is covered in Clause 10.
6 Performance objectives and limit states
6.1 General
6.1.1 The risks, due to the structure being exposed to seismic hazardous events, shall be demonstrated to
be tolerable by stake holders in accordance with 6.1.2 to 6.1.5.
NOTE The requirements in this document ensure that the structure has sufficient strength and ductility such that
the risks (life-safety, environmental-pollution, and business-disruption) are tolerable when the structure is exposed
to seismic hazardous events, as defined by the seismic hazard curve for the site.
6.1.2 Demonstration that the structure meets the performance objectives shall be by limit state
verification in accordance with ISO 19900.
6.1.3 The performance objective for life-safety and environmental risks, typically associated with an ALE,
shall specify the maximum tolerable annual probability that the (damaged) state of structure can exceed
ULS .
NC
NOTE 1 Life-safety risk refers to the potential for injury or loss of life during an earthquake.
NOTE 2 ULS is described in 6.2.1. When the state of the structure exceeds ULS one or more components can
NC NC
have failed and the structure can be near to collapsing.
6.1.4 The performance objective for business-disruption risk, typically associated with an ELE, shall
specify the maximum tolerable annual probability that the (damaged) state of structure can exceed ULS .
DL
NOTE ULS is described in 6.2.2. When the state of the structure exceeds ULS , the structural system remains
DL DL
stable, but the lateral system of the structure (braces, joints, and piles) can have plastic strains that result in permanent
deformation that can affect the functionality of the structure. The permanent deformation is likely repairable and
thus the functionality of the facility can be restored.

a
SRC 2 structures can alternatively be designed using the detailed seismic action procedure similar to SRC 3
and SRC 4 structures (see Table 4).
Figure 2 — Steps for limit state verification
6.2 Ultimate limit states
6.2.1 The state of the structure at the ULS , typically due to hazardous events with intensity S (T),
NC a,ALE
shall not include:
a) collapse of the structure’s gravity load resisting system (i.e. legs, pile to leg joints, pile-soil resistance) or
collapse of the gravity sub-system that supports the living quarters;
b) damage to safety systems, escape routes, and evacuation systems that prevent their functionality;

c) loss of supports for critical hydrocarbon equipment that could lead to escalation by loss of process
containment;
d) collapse of the living quarters, masts, derricks, flare structures and other safety critical structures.
6.2.2 The state of the structure at the ULS may include damage to the structure’s lateral system (i.e.
NC
braces and their joints, and pile lateral deformation) as follows:
a) severed braces (by fracture or low-cycle fatigue, with or without strain ratcheting);
b) plastic local buckling of braces or global buckling of braces;
c) permanent deformation of joints, and collapse or fracture of joints;
d) permanent lateral deformation of piles;
e) spalling of reinforced concrete.
6.2.3 The state of the structure at the ULS , typically due to hazardous events with intensity S , shall
DL a,ELE
not include:
a) permanent deformation of the components comprising the structure’s gravity load resisting system (i.e.
legs, pile to leg joints, and pile-soil resistance);
b) permanent deformation to the components comprising the structure’s lateral system (i.e. braces and
their joints, and pile lateral deformation);
c) damage to safety systems, escape routes, and evacuation systems that prevent their functionality;
d) damage to pipelines, conductors, risers, and other safety-critical components due to displacements at
mudline elevation of the structure;
e) damage due to toppling of topsides equipment and cable trays;
f) damage to masts, derricks, and flare structures;
g) damage to sliding supports that prevent their functionality;
h) damage to piping systems that prevents their functionality due to differential displacement of supports.
6.2.4 The state of the structure at the ULS should not include damage that will result in dropped objects.

if specified by the operator or regulator, provided the structural response with probability of exceedance in
Table 1 is also demonstrated to be acceptable.

not be classified as consequence level L2 unless it is normally unoccupied (e.g. limited to inspection and
maintenance visits).
NOTE No reliable forewarning of seismic actions is feasible and, consequently, it is not possible to evacuate prior
to an earthquake.
6.5 ULS verification (using hazardous events with intensity = S )

a,ALE
b) mean capacities of members, joints, piles, and soil (by use of mean yield stress, mean component
capacities and expected soil capacity).
NOTE Clause 7 provides analysis types and requirements to determine the above actions.
6.7 Seismic design procedure
6.7.1 Seismic design shall follow the limit state verification methods in 6.8 and be based on one of the
following design strategies:

7 Analysis types for structural response
7.1 Response spectrum analysis
7.1.1 Combination of modal responses shall be performed by the complete quadratic combination.
7.1.2 Directional responses for both horizontal directions and the vertical direction shall be determined.
7.1.3 Combination of directional responses:
a) should be performed by the square root of the sum of the squares;
b) may be performed by linear combination.
NOTE 1 Linear combination can be applied by taking one component at its maximum and the other two components
at 40 % of their respective maximum values (with the sign of each response parameter selected to maximise the
response combination) - see Reference [23].
[24]
NOTE 2 Linear combination is always more conservative than the square root of the sum of the squares .
7.1.4 The number of modes used in a RSA shall be the number of modes to achieve at least 90 % mass
participation in each horizontal direction.
[19]
NOTE ASCE 7-22 provides guidance on achieving 90 % mass participation.
7.1.5 RSA shall not be used if seismic isolation or passive energy dissipation devices are employed.
7.1.6 Linearized foundation stiffness values shall be based upon the magnitude of soil deformations
resulting from ground motions with spectral accelerations of S and S .
a,ELE a,ALE
7.1.7 Damping values shall be based upon deformation magnitudes resulting from ground motions with
spectral accelerations of S and S .
a,ELE a,ALE
7.1.8 Damping values should be based on recommendations in the Standard applicable to the structure
type, see Figure 1.
7.1.9 A damping ratio of 5 % may be used to represent structural and soil damping.
7.1.10 Larger values of damping due to hydrodynamics or soil deformation (hysteretic and radiation) may
be used provided the damping values used are substantiated.
7.2 Time history analysis
7.2.1 A minimum of 7 ground motion records shall be applied to the structure.
NOTE 1 Seven ground motion records applied in different orientations provide variability in the directional
response of the structure.
NOTE 2 If only 4 ground motion records are available for the site, then 4 additional records can be created by
exchanging the horizontal acceleration values.
7.2.2 The ground motion records for input to the time history analysis should be selected based on
deaggregation of the seismic hazard curve.
NOTE The structure’s response can be very different for two ground motion records having the same spectral
acceleration at the dominant period, typically the 1st sway modes i.e. S (T ), if the frequency contents for the two
a 1
records are sufficiently different. A large magnitude earthquake with a focus far from the site can have the same
S (T ) as a smaller magnitude earthquake with a focus close to the site, however the ground motion records for the
a 1
earthquake far from the site typically have less high frequency motions as they are attenuated by the larger site to
source distance.
7.2.3 Down-pile displacement time histories (derived from a DSRA) should be applied (in accordance with
Reference [25]), rather than applying near-surface displacement time histories uniformly from pile tip to
pile head.
7.2.4 Soil radiation damping should be represented in a nonlinear time history analysis in accordance
with IOGP S-631-11, A.11.6.4.
7.2.5 Ground motions may be scaled based on a conditional spectrum rather than the uniform hazard
spectrum.
7.2.6 Verification for the ULS by a linear time history analysis shall use a nonlinear soil model.
DL
7.2.7 Verification for the ULS shall be demonstrated when using the time history analysis, if utilisation
DL
ratios for all members and all joints are less than unity at each time step.
NOTE For verification of ULS the maximum member or joint utilization is determined during each time history
DL
record.
7.2.8 Time history analysis and the structural nonlinear model for the hazardous event actions for the
ULS shall be in accordance with the criteria specified in ISO 19902 and IOGP S-631-11.
NC
7.2.9 ULS verification of the structure shall be deemed to have been demonstrated provided that no
NC
more than 3 of 7 ground motion records (each having a spectral acceleration at the sway period of the
structure defined by S ) cause collapse of the structure in a NTHA.
a,ALE
NOTE For verification, if no more than 3 of the 7-time histories analysis result in collapse of the structure then
P is no greater than 1 divided by the return period for the spectral acceleration associated with T of the
dom
ULS
NC

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO

Seismic conditions vary widely around the world, and the design criteria depend primarily on
observations of historical seismic events together with consideration of seismotectonics and local soil
conditions. Additional information and guidance are given in Annex AAnnex A,, where the clause
numbering mirrors the normative clauses to facilitate cross referencing.
In ISO International Standards, the following verbal forms are used:
— — “shall” and “shall not” are used to indicate requirements strictly to be followed in order to
conform to the document and from which no deviation is permitted;
— — “should” and “should not” are used to indicate that, among several possibilities, one is
recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others, or that a certain
course of action is preferred but not necessarily required, or that (in the negative form) a certain
possibility or course of action is deprecated but not prohibited;
— — “may” is used to indicate a course of action permissible within the limits of the document;
— — “can” and “cannot” are used for statements of possibility and capability, whether material,
physical or causal.

This document contains requirements for seismic design and assessment of offshore structures.
This document includes recommendations for the effects of seismic events on floating structures.
This document addresses specifically the design and assessment of offshore structures subjected to
earthquake-induced ground motions. It also covers briefly other geologically induced hazards such as
liquefaction, slope instability, fault surface displacement, tsunamis, mud volcanoes and shock waves.
This document provides requirements for site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for offshore
structures in high seismic areas and for offshore structures with high consequence levels.

5 Seismic hazards
5.1 5.1 Seismic design and assessment of offshore structures shall include the effect of ground motions
due to earthquakes.
5.2 5.2 In addition to the effect of ground motion, design and assessment of offshore structures shall
also include the effects of the following seismic hazardous events, as developed by specialists in geologic

site hazards:
a) a) soil liquefaction,
b) b) seabed slide,
c) c) fault surface displacement,
d) d) tsunamis,
e) e) mud volcanoes,
f) f) velocity pulse from directivity effects (earthquake-induced shock wave in the water column
typically associated with volcanic eruptions).
NOTE Provisions for seismic design and assessment of floating structures is covered in Clause 10.
6 Performance objectives and limit states
6.1 General
6.1.1 6.1.1 The risks, due to the structure being exposed to seismic hazardous events, shall be
demonstrated to be tolerable by stake holders in accordance with 6.1.26.1.2 to 6.1.5.
NOTE The requirements in this document ensure that the structure has sufficient strength and ductility such that
the risks (life-safety, environmental-pollution, and business-disruption) are tolerable when the structure is exposed to
seismic hazardous events, as defined by the seismic hazard curve for the site.
6.1.2 6.1.2 Demonstration that the structure meets the performance objectives shall be by limit state
verification in accordance with ISO 19900.
6.1.3 6.1.3 The performance objective for life-safety and environmental risks, typically associated with an
ALE, shall specify the maximum tolerable annual probability that the (damaged) state of structure can
exceed ULS .
NC
NOTE 1 Life-safety risk refers to the potential for injury or loss of life during an earthquake.
NOTE 2 ULSNC is described in 6.2.16.2.1. When the state of the structure exceeds ULSNC one or more components can
have failed and the structure can be near to collapsing.
6.1.4 6.1.4 The performance objective for business-disruption risk, typically associated with an ELE, shall
specify the maximum tolerable annual probability that the (damaged) state of structure can exceed
ULS .
DL
NOTE ULSDL is described in 6.2.26.2.2. When the state of the structure exceeds ULSDL, the structural system remains
stable, but the lateral system of the structure (braces, joints, and piles) can have plastic strains that result in permanent
deformation that can affect the functionality of the structure. The permanent deformation is likely repairable and thus
the functionality of the facility can be restored.

d) permanent lateral deformation of piles;
e) spalling of reinforced concrete.
6.2.3 6.2.3 The state of the structure at the ULS , typically due to hazardous events with intensity S ,
DL a,ELE
shall not include:
a) a) permanent deformation of the components comprising the structure’s gravity load resisting
system (i.e.,. legs, pile to leg joints, and pile-soil resistance);
b) b) permanent deformation to the components comprising the structure’s lateral system (i.e.
braces and their joints, and pile lateral deformation);
c) c) damage to safety systems, escape routes, and evacuation systems that prevent their
functionality;
d) d) damage to pipelines, conductors, risers, and other safety-critical components due to
displacements at mudline elevation of the structure;
e) e) damage due to toppling of topsides equipment and cable trays;

1) 1) RSA in accordance with 7.1,;
2) 2) NTHA in accordance with 7.2,;
3) 3) NPA in accordance with 7.3.
6.8.5 6.8.5 Limit state verification of facilities classed as SRC 1 may be performed but is not required.
6.8.6 6.8.6 For facilities classed as SRC >1, the risks arising due to collapse of the facility in seismic

structure and joints.
7 Analysis types for structural response
7.1 Response spectrum analysis
7.1.1 7.1.1 Combination of modal responses shall be performed by the complete quadratic combination.
7.1.2 7.1.2 Directional responses for both horizontal directions and the vertical direction shall be
determined.
7.1.3 7.1.3 Combination of directional responses:
a) a) should be performed by the square root of the sum of the squares,;
b) b) may be performed by linear combination.
NOTE 1 Linear combination can be applied by taking one component at its maximum and the other two components
at 40 % of their respective maximum values (with the sign of each response parameter selected to maximise the response
combination) - see Reference [23] [23]. .
[24][24]
NOTE 2 Linear combination is always more conservative than the square root of the sum of the squares .
7.1.4 7.1.4 The number of modes used in a RSA shall be the number of modes to achieve at least 90 %
mass participation in each horizontal direction.
[19] [19]
NOTE ASCE 7-22 provides guidance on achieving 90 % mass participation.
7.1.5 7.1.5 RSA shall not be used if seismic isolation or passive energy dissipation devices are employed.
7.1.6 7.1.6 LinearisedLinearized foundation stiffness values shall be based upon the magnitude of soil
deformations resulting from ground motions with spectral accelerations of S and S .
a,ELE a,ALE
7.1.7 7.1.7 Damping values shall be based upon deformation magnitudes resulting from ground motions
with spectral accelerations of S and S .
a,ELE a,ALE
7.1.8 7.1.8 Damping values should be based on recommendations in the Standard applicable to the
structure type, see Figure 1Figure 1.
7.1.9 7.1.9 A damping ratio of 5 % may be used to represent structural and soil damping.
7.1.10 7.1.10 Larger values of damping due to hydrodynamics or soil deformation (hysteretic and radiation)
may be used provided the damping values used are substantiated.
7.2 Time history analysis
7.2.1 7.2.1 A minimum of 7 ground motion records shall be applied to the structure.
NOTE 1 Seven ground motion records applied in different orientations provide variability in the directional response
of the structure.
NOTE 2 If only 4 ground motion records are available for the site, then 4 additional records can be created by
exchanging the horizontal acceleration values.
7.2.2 7.2.2 The ground motion records for input to the time history analysis should be selected based on
deaggregation of the seismic hazard curve.
NOTE The structure’s response can be very different for two ground motion records having the same spectral
acceleration at the dominant period, typically the 1st sway modes i.e.,. Sa(T1), if the frequency contents for the two records
are sufficiently different. A large magnitude earthquake with a focus far from the site can have the same S (T ) as a smaller
a 1
magnitude earthquake with a focus close to the site, however the ground motion records for the earthquake far from the
site typically have less high frequency motions as they are attenuated by the larger site to source distance.
7.2.3 7.2.3 Down-pile displacement time histories (derived from a DSRA) should be applied (in
accordance with Reference [[25] [25]),]), rather than applying near-surface displacement time
histories uniformly from pile tip to pile head.
ISO/FDIS 19900:2019(E 19901-2:2026(en)
7.2.4 7.2.4 Soil radiation damping should be represented in a nonlinear time history analysis in
accordance with IOGP S-631-11, A.11.6.4.
7.2.5 7.2.5 Ground motions may be scaled based on a conditional spectrum rather than the uniform
hazard spectrum.
7.2.6 7.2.6 Verification for the ULSDL by a linear time history analysis shall use a nonlinear soil model.
7.2.7 7.2.7 Verification for the ULSDL shall be demonstrated when using the time history analysis, if
utilisation ratios for all members and all joints are less than unity at each time step.
NOTE For verification of ULS the maximum member or joint utilization is determined during each time history
DL
record.

Introduction
Les Normes internationales des structures en mer élaborées par le TC 67 traitent des exigences et des
évaluations de la conception de toutes les structures en mer utilisées dans le monde entier par le secteur
énergétique. Leur application a pour finalité d'atteindre des niveaux de qualité et de sécurité appropriés
pour les structures en mer normalement occupées et normalement inoccupées, quel que soit le type de
structure et quelle que soit la nature ou la combinaison des matériaux utilisés.
L'intégrité structurelle est un concept global comprenant des modèles destinés à décrire des actions, des
analyses structurelles, des règles de conception ou d'évaluation, des éléments de sécurité, l'exécution des
réalisations, des procédures de contrôle de la qualité, et des exigences nationales, ces divers éléments étant
interdépendants. La modification d'un aspect de la conception ou de l'évaluation pris isolément peut
perturber l'équilibre de la fiabilité inhérent au concept global ou au système structurel global. Par
conséquent, il est nécessaire que les implications des modifications soient considérées par rapport à la
fiabilité globale de l'ensemble des systèmes de structures en mer.
Les Normes internationales pour les structures en mer préparées par le TC 67 sont élaborées pour
permettre un choix étendu de configurations structurelles, de matériaux, et de techniques sans entraver
l'innovation. Une solide capacité de jugement en termes d'ingénierie est donc nécessaire pour l'utilisation
de ces Normes internationales.
Le concept global d'intégrité structurelle est décrit ci-dessus. Certains facteurs supplémentaires doivent être
pris en compte pour la conception sismique. Ceux-ci comprennent la magnitude et la probabilité des
événements sismiques, l'utilisation et l'importance de la structure en mer, la robustesse de la structure
envisagée et les dommages admissibles causés par des actions sismiques ayant différentes probabilités
d'occurrence. Il est nécessaire que tout cela, ainsi que toute autre information applicable, soit considéré en
relation avec la fiabilité globale de la structure.
Les conditions sismiques varient fortement en fonction de la situation géographique et les critères de
conception dépendent principalement des observations d'événements sismiques historiques, ainsi que du
contexte sismotectonique et des conditions de sol locales. Dans bien des cas, des études d'évaluation de l'aléa
sismique spécifiques au site sont requises pour réaliser la conception ou l'évaluation d'une structure.
L'objectif du présent document est de fournir des procédures générales de conception sismique pour
différents types de structures en mer et un cadre pour la détermination des critères de conception sismique.
D'autres exigences sont énoncées dans les exigences générales de la Norme internationale ISO 19900 et dans
les Normes internationales spécifiques relatives aux structures ISO 19902, ISO 19903, ISO 19904, et
ISO 19906. La prise en compte des événements sismiques dans l'évaluation des unités mobiles en mer est
traitée dans l'ISO 19905.

événements dangereux sismiques suivants, tels qu'établis par les spécialistes des phénomènes dangereux
des sites géologiques :
a) liquéfaction du sol ;
b) glissement du sous-sol marin ;
ISO/DIS 19901‐2:2024(fr)
c) mouvement de faille ;
d) tsunamis ;
e) volcans de boue ;
f) impulsion de vitesse due aux effets de directivité.
6 Objectifs de performance, états limites et états d'endommagement
6.1 Généralités
6.1.1 Il doit être démontré que les risques dus à l'exposition de la structure à des événements
sismiques dangereux sont tolérables conformément aux 6.1.2 à 6.1.5.
NOTE Les exigences de l'ISO 19901-2 permettent à la structure d'avoir une résistance et une ductilité suffisantes
pour que les risques (sécurité des personnes, pollution de l'environnement, et perturbation de l'activité) soient
tolérables lorsque la structure est exposée à des événements dangereux sismiques tels que définis par la courbe
d'aléa pour le site.
6.1.2 La structure doit répondre aux objectifs de performance (tels que définis en 6.3).
6.1.3 La démonstration du fait que la structure répond aux objectifs de performance doit se faire par
une vérification aux états limites conformément à l'ISO 19900.
6.1.4 L'objectif de performance pour le risque de sécurité des personnes, généralement associé à l'ALE,
doit spécifier la probabilité annuelle maximale tolérable que l'état (d'endommagement) de la structure
puisse dépasser l'état limite de quasi-effondrement (NC).
NOTE 1 L'état limite NC est décrit en 6.2.1. Lorsque l'état de la structure est à l'état limite NC, le système structurel
reste stable, mais un ou plusieurs composants peuvent être défaillants. Puisque la structure demeure stable et ne
s'effondre pas, les décès sont limités ou évités à la suite de l'événement sismique, et ainsi, les conséquences pour la
vie et la sécurité des personnes sont négligeables.
6.1.5 L'objectif de performance pour le risque de perturbation de l'activité, généralement associé à
l'ELE, doit spécifier la probabilité annuelle maximale tolérable que l'état (d'endommagement) de la
structure puisse dépasser l'état limite de limitation des dommages (DL).
NOTE 1 L'état limite DL est décrit en 6.2.2. Lorsque l'état de la structure est à l'état limite DL, le système structurel
reste stable, mais le système latéral de la structure (entretoises, joints, et pieux) peut subir des déformations
approchant la limite d'élasticité. Tout dommage est localisé et facilement réparable, ce qui fait que la fonctionnalité
de l'installation est restaurée dans un court délai après l'événement sismique et que les conséquences d'une
perturbation de l'activité sont tolérables.
Une vérification aux états limites pour les états limites DL et NC doit être conforme aux Articles 6 à 10,
comme représenté à la Figure 1.

moyenne.
NOTE 2 La procédure simplifiée de l'Article 8 a été étalonnée en fonction des probabilités énumérées dans le
Tableau 1.
6.3.3 La probabilité maximale annuelle de dépassement de l'état limite NC peut être inférieure à celle
indiquée dans le Tableau 1 si cela est spécifié par l'opérateur ou le régulateur.

6.4 Catégorie de risque sismique
6.4.1 L'installation doit être classée par catégorie de risque sismique (SRC) conformément au
Tableau 3.
NOTE La SRC est fonction du niveau de conséquences et de la zone sismique du site.
ISO/DIS 19901‐2:2024(fr)
6.4.2 La zone sismique du site doit être déterminée à partir des cartes d'accélération spectrale

6.4.3 Pour les situations de conception sismique, une structure ne doit pas être classée au niveau de
conséquences L2 à moins qu'elle ne soit normalement inoccupée (sauf pendant de brèves périodes telles
que pour le contrôle et la maintenance), mais avec un niveau de conséquences pour la pollution
d'environnement supérieur à L3.
NOTE Il est pris pour hypothèse qu'aucune prévision fiable des actions sismiques n'est réalisable et, par
conséquent, qu'il n'est pas possible d'évacuer avant un séisme.
