Study on the general layout of semi-submersible offshore drilling platforms based on process flow

The general layout of 6th generation semi-submersible drilling platforms is the main factor impacting the efficiency of their drilling operations. This paper provides a compound/integrated algorithm based on process flow that is aimed at improving efficiency, while giving attention to stability and safety at the same time. The paper describes the process flow of dual drilling centers and a hierarchical division of rigs based on the different modes of transportation of various drilling support systems. The general layout-centripetal overall arrangement spatially was determined based on drilling efficiency. We derived our modules according to drilling functionality; the modules became our basic layout units. We applied different layout algorithm to mark out the upper and lower decks. That is, the upper deck was designed based on the lowest transportation cost while the lower deck＇s calculations were based on the best-fit scope. Storage configurations in columns and pontoons were also considered for the layout design. Finally the center of gravity was taken into consideration and the general layout was adjusted accordingly, to result in an optimal center of gravity. The methodology of the general layout can provide a reference for implementation of domestic designs of semi-submersible rigs.

Research on the optimal design of spillway tunnel

In order to meet the needs of various tasks of water conservancy project, tunnel excavation under the ground, called hydraulic tunnel. Hydraulic tunnel according to the functions of flood discharge, water diversion, irrigation, water supply, and the construction diversion tunnel of desilting emptying. Nowadays, water conservancy project on flood discharge runnel design requirements more and more high, so the factors taken into account the amount of spillway tunnel engineering, engineering cost, structure design and other factors to evaluate nature of the spillway tunnel is very important. Therefore, in actual construction, of spillway tunnel of optimization design, whether from the economic point of view, or from the point of view of safety and applicability are necessary. This article mainly from the overall layout of flood discharge tunnel, structure design and so on, and then discuss the optimization scheme.

Coordination:From Development Concept to Methodology Innovation

Coordinated development focuses on ensuring an integrated,systematic and coordinated development approach.It exhibits the new thinking of social engineering,and concerns value orientation,distribution change,strategic direction and problem orientation.It is of great methodological significance in boosting the economic and social development of China during the 13 th Five-year Plan and beyond.Coordinated development requires a top-level design in social engineering,which includes deconstructing urban-rural dual structures,mending the"short planks",synchronous advancement of the new"Four Modernizations,"as well as the joint development of cultural-ethical production and material production.As a methodology of social engineering,coordinated development contains the methods of social design,social reflection and social evaluation and has become a basic model to guide and hold the new normal of China's economy.
