Abstract

nOffshore structures are exposed to a myriad of environmental challenges, including high
temperatures and fire hazards, necessitating robust fire resistance measures to ensure
structural integrity and the safety of personnel and facilities. This study aims to evaluate
the fire resistance of offshore structures under special environmental loads, with a focus
on the structural integrity and safety measures in place to withstand extreme conditions.
The research methodology includes a comprehensive review of industry standards,
guidelines, and best practices related to fire protection in offshore structures, particularly
in high-temperature environments. Special emphasis is placed on the assessment of
passive and active fire protection systems, compartmentalization strategies, insulation
materials, and emergency response plans.Through numerical simulations and analytical
modeling, the study seeks to quantify the performance of offshore structures under fire
scenarios and special environmental loads. Factors such as material properties, structural
design considerations, and fire dynamics will be analyzed to determine the structural
response and overall resilience of offshore installations to extreme conditions.
