The main sections of API RP 2A-LRFD (2019) are:

The is the cornerstone recommended practice for the planning, design, and construction of fixed offshore steel platforms. Unlike the traditional Working Stress Design (WSD) approach, this document utilizes a reliability-based Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) format.

"Elias, the soil reports from the Balder site just updated," she said. "The top layer is softer than predicted. If we use the WSD factor of 1.5 on the steel, the pile foundations will see a cyclic degradation of nearly 40% by year ten."

"It's loading," Elias said, his fingers tapping impatiently on the desk. "We need the 2019 update specifically. There were changes to the tubular joint capacity equations in Section D. If we use the old equations, the joint fails. If the 2019 errata holds what I think it holds regarding
