2.9.1 The possibility of fatigue damage due to
cyclic loading should be considered in the design of self-elevating
and column-stabilized units.
2.9.2 The fatigue analysis should be based on
the intended mode and area of operations to be considered in the unit’s
design.
2.9.3 The fatigue analysis should take into account
the intended design life of the unit and the accessibility of load-carrying
members for inspection.
