CALCULATION OF STEEL STRUCTURES General The design of a steel structure shall consider not only the properties of materials used in construction and stresses calculated in the constituent elements (members) of it (beams, columns, braces, knots, ..) depending loads to which they are subjected but also to see the local environmental conditions and particular requirements of location, construction details, methods of prefabrication, erection and assembly, as well as its effect on cost, order to achieve a safe and economical design. The assumptions adopted in the global analysis of a structure shall be consistent with the expected behaviour of joints between members, depending on the type chosen for them (rigid, semi-rigid, articulated,..). Also, the hypothesis taken in the calculation of the pieces shall be consistent (or be on the side of safety) with the method of global analysis and, of course, with the expected behaviour of the joints

The joints between structural elements (nodes) shall be designed coherent with the overall structure, which supposes a coherent behaviour to the hypotheses assumed in the global analysis, with special emphasis in the consideration of the value of ductility adopted for the calculation of the structure under seismic load and the typology of nodes considered in accordance with the recommendations of the use code or regulations of design and the standards of the good practice Joints shall be verified for resistance (ULS; SLS) according to the verifications required by the design code used. Always shall justify the resistance of connections from concurrent forces of a complete calculation of the structure. In exceptional cases (eg, the calculation of the structure has not been finalized yet) and always with the prior conformity of REPSOL, the resistance of the nodes shall be justified through specific envelope forces" defined from the resistance capacity of the elements forming the connection. Engineering contractor responsible for the general calculation of the structure shall define the envelope forces based on its experience and its knowledge of this structure. More ahead it shall have to demonstrate by a specific study that, in each node, the used envelope forces are more unfavourable than the resulting forces of the calculation. Engineering shall be able to propose formulas of the envelope forces to be considered in the calculation for each case at issue but, unless justified and prior approval of REPSOL, shall satisfy the minimum enveloped formulas specified in the table included below."

With the notation of ENV 1993-1-1 following: Mu = Wply x fyd Wel x fyd Wef x fyd Vu = Av x fyd / 1,732 Nu = A x fyd Nu(c) = X x A x fyd Notes: 1. In rigid connections beam-column, in the case of being the force smaller than 85% from the resistance at moment in column, the latter should be considered. 2. Stiffeners shall be placed in those rigid connections when required by calculation. 3. Only the methodology of enveloped forces should be able to be used for common structures, regular and simple geometry, such as the structure of a pipe rack formed by cross-braced frames longitudinally. Niether it is to be used for special elements such as a beam rotated, nor may apply this methodology to the base plate that shall always be designed with the whole results of the calculation of the structure. 4. If the complete calculation of the structure was not finalized at the time planned to solicit bids from prefabrication and assembly of the same, the values of the forces obtained from the decided formulas of envelopes to be adopted should be used by the contractor of structures to realise the calculations that allow him to estimate the weight and degree of difficulty of implementation of the connections. However, once the final calculations of structure are completed, both the contractor and the engineering must check the validity of connections with real forces. 3.5.2. Effect of earthquake on the design of the connection. In the case of earthquake resistant structures designed with a dissipative behaviour, where the coefficient of behaviour by ductility is being applied superior or equal to 2, the joints located within the dissipative zones shall be "full-resistance" and shall have an over-resistance of 1.2. Shall be verified, in particular, the criteria and the rules defined in section 3.5 of EN 1998-1-3 Eurocode 8 Part 1.3: Specific rules for different materials and elements.

Connections at field shall generally be bolted. c) For both of the welding or execution of drills (separation, allowed forms of execution, etc.), the established norms of good practice in the design code shall be followed or regulates applicable to be selected. d) In the case of structures to be installed inside units in operation, the latter are designed so that the welds are made at the workshop prefabrication and assembly is executed in the field by means of bolting, meccano type, taking into account the function to perform and potential interference with other elements. The structures of platforms and ladders attached to columns or vessels, if their size and weight do not condition or penalized erection operations shall be assembled on the floor and hoisted all at once. e) The design of structures, both pipe racks and support of equipments, shall be designed maximizing the use of braced frames, whenever this is possible, taking into account the layout of equipment and pipe supports and adjacent. In the frames, it shall be checked that the placing of tie beams does not prevent access to equipment and vessels located at operation levels neither it makes difficult to the circulation of mobile equipment used for lifting and transportation maintenance work, nor prevents or it conditions the passage of pipes. f) Structural steel beams supporting pipes shall not carry the round pipe support bar, except for slope pipes where they may be placed with the prior approval of Repsol g) Rolled standardized profiles shall be used (preferably in the country of location of the project or in its area of influence), unless the circumstances (special designs, economy or difficulties of storing) advise the opposite. The proposal of using of non-standardized profiles shall be communicated to REPSOL for its joint approval with the design bases. h) Holes for draining shall be provided in all the elements where water could accumulate.

4.2.

Connections. a) The connections subjected to moments of any type shall be designed maximizing the bolting details in the field and the shop welding. The quantity of connections welded in the field shall be minimized, reduced exclusively to those cases where it becomes necessary. b) The connections may be classified by type of importance, using the following criteria:

Connections of less importance (secondary): It is considered as secondary connections, those connections between elements which are not of particular complexity of implementation to ensure continuity in the structure (simple beam-beam connections, beam-pillar, pillar-strut ,..), subject exclusively to forces from static, these forces are expected to be much lower than those that should limit the resistance capacity of its members (<50%) under conditions of permanent loads and ordinary variables (overload of use, wind, snow ,..). This classification may include all connections between members of auxiliary structures (operational platforms and / or maintenance, stairs, handrails, etc..

PAINTING Regarding the finishing of the fabrication, in general, all the structural steel surfaces, including those that have to be fireproofed shall be treated in accordance with specified in the section and the corresponding table of specification ED-B-06.00 Paintings. Contact surfaces of all the connection to be performed in the field shall be painted according to the demands of the project. Special attention shall be paid to those surfaces of difficult access for the painting, once erected. The contact surfaces of the connections by friction (with tightening of the elements which join them) with high strength bolts, considered of critical sliding, shall not be painted; they shall only be blasted at the workshop according to the approved procedure. The surfaces which should be fireproofed, shall also receive the treatment specified in the ED-B-06.00 for the case in question. Before applying the corrosion-proof protection, all the sharp edges, burrs (including burrs from drill holes for bolts), welding projections, slab, milling barbs and other strange elements shall be eliminated from the surfaces. The galvanized bolts shall be used for the galvanized steel structure connections and the bolts without surface treatment for the rest of the steel works. The bolts, once placed, shall be painted in the same manner as the steel structure.
