Steel jacket type offshore platforms are highly susceptible to damage because of the severe environmental condition, therefore ensuring its proper performance and detection of probable damage is very important and undeniable. In this paper, by studying on experimental results of a prototype scaled offshore platform subjected to dynamic loading for different damage conditions, efficiency of Rate of Signal Energy using Wavelet Packet Transform for damage detection of this kind of structures has been carried out. Experiments results of two support conditions including hinge based and pile supported cases have been used. Wavelet packet analysis was used to determine the location of damage for different damage scenarios. The results demonstrate that proposed method can predict location of damage accurately. It can be concluded that this method can be used for prediction of damages similar to damages considered in this paper by using a continuous measurements and monitoring of platform responses.
