1.1 Scope
This Standard provides rules and requirements for the design and fabrication of
steel fixed offshore structures where the design is based on limit states.
1.2 Application
1.2.1
This Standard applies unconditionally to steel and steel/concrete composite
fixed offshore structures. Supplementary rules or requirements may be
necessary for unusual types of construction.…

1.2 Alternative Design Procedures
1.2.1
The intent of Clause 1.2.1 is to allow flexibility in the use of design methods
that are not totally in accordance with the requirements of the Standard but
that can be justified by proven performance or by theory and analysis based on
special investigations. Such investigations might include
(a) evaluation of a full-scale structural element or a…
Commentary to CSA Standard CAN/CSA-S472-92, Foundations
This Commentary applies to the design of foundations for fixed offshore
structures. The term "foundation" is defined as the seabed, any fill, and any
artificial elements (eg, piles or skirts) that penetrate or rest upon these
materials and that in whole or in part support production structures and
facilities. The Standard is divided into subsections that address
(a) site…
Commentary to CSA Standard CAN/CSA-S473-92, Steel Structures
The Clause headings and numbers used in this Commentary correspond to those in
the Standard. Hence the Commentary should be used in conjunction with the
Standard. Not all clauses have commentary.
This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISo
704:1987.
This International Standard establishes principles and methods which are
designed to unify and standardize the elaboration of terminology standards at
the national and international levels.
These principles (and methods) are general in nature and can be adapted if
required to more specific terminology…
1.1
Provides rules and requirements for the design, fabrication, erection, and use
of concrete formwork which provide temporary lateral support or containment of
freshly placed concrete for buildings and other structures during their
construction, alteration or repair. It is structured and organized so that it
may be used with either working stress or limit states design standards and…
General Requirements, Design Criteria, the Environment, and Loads
1.1 General
1.1.1
This Standard sets forth requirements and guidance on design principles, safety
levels, and loads to be used in connection with the design, construction,
transportation, installation, and decommissioning of fixed offshore structures.
1.1.2
It is intended to cover all such fixed offshore structures, or parts thereof,
including the main deck and topside structures,…
1.1 General
This Standard addresses the geotechnical engineering aspects of
(a) gravity-base structures;
(b) fill structures;
(c) fill-retention structures; and
(d) pile-supported structures.
Specific considerations include site investigations, general design principles,
the influences of soil and natural processes on the foundation components, and
the geotechnical factors that…

Specifies the construction, fabrication, and installation requirements that
apply to concrete containment structures of a containment system designated as
class containment components, parts, and appurtenances for nuclear power
plants.
1.2
This Standard provides personnel qualification requirements for the work
performed in accordance with this Standard.
1.3
