Abstract This paper is to perform the Jacket support structure design analysis for a 5MW reference offshore wind turbine of IEA OC4 project using API RP 2A-WSD and NORSOK N-004 design standards. The analysis is conducted by a global-local structural analysis scheme. In global analysis, the NREL FAST code is employed to analyze the dynamic responses of entire OWT structure under severe design load cases of IEC 61400-3. The tower base forces and moments are thus calculated and then used as the input of SAP2000 to conduct the Jacket support structural analysis, and then the member and joint strength checks are performed using the API and NORSOK standards, respectively. Totally 9 severe design load cases are considered in this work. The results show that the analyzed Jacket structure is fully in compliance with the requirements of API and NORSOK standards. In addition, it reveals that the NORSOK standard provides slightly more safety margin than API.
