Abstract

This study aims to investigate the cause of the collapse of an offshore meteorological tower and offer valuable insights for preventing similar occurrences in the future. The analysis results indicate that the instantaneous wind and wave actions did not directly contribute to the collapse as the member forces were significantly lower than the design value. The measured wind data revealed a severe anomaly in the instantaneous maximum wind speeds caused by vortex-induced vibration of the tower, which persisted for four hours, leading to fatigue failure in the joint bolts.
