Nowadays, designers tend to use the directional wave statistics for the design of offshore structures. The main reason is to obtain the optimum design of the structures for cost and time effectiveness. In this paper, an experimental investigation on dynamic responses of spar platform subjected to multi-directional waves is presented. The model tests were performed in the wave tank of Offshore Engineering Laboratory of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. In the tests, a standard cosine spreading law was added to the Pierson-Moskowitz (P-M) and JONSWAP spectra to generate the multi-directional waves. The response data were collected and processed to obtain the dynamic responses of the spar model in terms of RAOs. The responses in 3 degree-of-freedom were presented and it was found that short crested waves, namely the multi-directional waves induce smaller responses compared to the long crested waves. © 2012 IEEE. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84864242545&doi=10.1109%2fBEIAC.2012.6226094&partnerID=40&md5=1b257c4946a64d2f2dd11739c0c3c197 id_number: 10.1109/BEIAC.2012.6226094 full_text_status: none publication: BEIAC 2012 - 2012 IEEE Business, Engineering and Industrial Applications Colloquium place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 410-414 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781467304269 citation: Kurian, V.J. and Ng, C.Y. and Liew, M.S.
