    This document summarizes the design of welded connections between structural elements of an offshore structure. It provides material properties and equations for calculating stresses in two welds. For Weld 1 connecting a pile to a crown shim, the calculated combined stress ratio of 1.009 is just over the acceptable limit of 1.0. For Weld 2 connecting a jacket leg to a crown shim, the combined stress ratio of 0.898 is within acceptable limits.

    4. DESIGN CHECKS FOR WELD 1
    The weld 1 is the weld between the crownshim and the pile.

    Diameter of the weld dw := 1067mm

    Here the combined stress check is 1.009 which is just more than one and hence can be deemed as
    acceptable.
