摘　　要：Mooring system failure can lead to largely different dynamic response of floating structures when compared to the response under the condition of intact mooring system.For a semi-submersible platform with taut mooring system under extreme environmental conditions,the typical mooring system failure includes anchor line breaking failure due to the broken anchor line,and the anchor dragging failure caused by the anchor failure in the seabed soil due to the shortage of the anchor bearing capacity.However,study on the mooring failure caused by anchor failure is rare.The current work investigates the effect of three failure modes of taut mooring system on dynamic response of a semi-submersible platform,including one line breaking failure,two lines breaking failure,and one line breaking with one line attached anchor dragging failure.The nonlinear polynomial mooring line model in AQWA was used with integrating the load and displacement curve from the anchor pulling study to characterize the anchor dragging behavior for mooring system failure caused by the anchor failure.The offsets of the platform and the tension of mooring lines were analyzed for mooring system failure with 100-year return period.It is found that the mooring failure of one line breaking with one line attached anchor dragging is a case between the other two mooring failures.The traditional mooring analysis considering only the damaged condition with one line breaking is not safe enough.And the simple way of mooring analysis of two lines breaking is too conservative for the costly offshore engineering.
