In connection with wind sensitivity for the towering and hollowed-out structures (drilling derrick, crane, etc) of large offshore oil platform, the wind-induced response of towering structure was studied. By the similarity criteria, high frequency force balance tests for the large offshore oil platform under 0-360 degrees wind directions were carried out, and the spatial distribution model of fluctuating wind load acting on platform was presented. Also, the characteristics of wind-induced vibration and the changing rule of gust loading factors were obtained precisely through wind-induced assessment in all directions. The results show that: the RMS (Root Mean Square) of the fluctuating across-wind load is about 10% of the fluctuating along-wind load on the platform; the vibration is mainly focused on the towering and hollowed-out structure like derrick, and the RMS of the across-wind acceleration is about 55% of the along-wind acceleration; the towering derrick has a big dynamic magnification of fluctuating across-wind load. The across-wind load can not be neglected in wind resistance design of large offshore oil platform, also the wind-induced response on the top/bottom of derrick and the magnification of fluctuating across-wind load of towering structure should be mainly considered.
