Abstract
In recent years, oil production in the México has decreased. As a result, there is a need for the installation of new offshore platforms, both in currently exploited fields and in future fields. Consequently, it is necessary to design, construct, and install platforms that optimize costs and reduce construction and installation times. To address this, the proposal involves the installation of these structures in segments, with connections made using bolted joint connections that are secure under in situ loading conditions. Under these loading conditions, analysis is conducted through finite element modeling, demonstrating appropriate behavior according to the requirements of current regulations. The implementation of this solution offers an alternative for the installation of offshore platforms, which largely depend on the availability of installation equipment with capacities exceeding 800 tons
