🔍 Key Concepts

• How preload on a jack-up rig like the COASTAL DRILLER is distributed among its legs • Total preload weight vs. individual leg reaction (load per leg) • Whether the rig’s legs are assumed to share load equally when properly preloaded

💭 Think About

• First, think about how many legs a typical jack-up rig such as the COASTAL DRILLER has, and whether the load is meant to be shared equally among them when properly preloaded. • Consider what total preload (in kips) is being used in the underlying problem or example, and how you would divide that total among the legs if the system is balanced. • Ask yourself: in a properly preloaded condition, would any one leg carry significantly more or less load than the others, or should they all be close to the same value?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the number of legs on the COASTAL DRILLER used in the reference material or class notes. • Verify the total preload force (in kips) discussed in that example before dividing by the number of legs. • Check that your chosen leg reaction value, multiplied by the number of legs, returns you to the correct total preload.
