        abstract = {Offshore platforms serve as vital infrastructures for oil, gas, and renewable energy operations, where structural stability under harsh marine conditions is paramount. The steel deck, forming the primary operational surface, relies on concrete pile foundations to transfer vertical and lateral loads safely into the seabed. This paper reviews the structural interaction between steel decks and concrete pile foundations, emphasizing the effects of pile configuration number, spacing, and length on deck deflection, bending stresses, and overall platform stiffness. Existing design approaches based on empirical and codebbased methods (e.g., DNV GL, API) are compared with advanced numerical and finite element analyses, which more accurately capture complex pile deck interactions. Studies reveal that optimized pile configurations significantly enhance stiffness, reduce deflection, and improve the dynamic response of offshore platforms subjected to wind, wave, and seismic loads. Furthermore, the use of steel concrete composite piles offers superior strength, ductility, and durability. Despite notable progress, research gaps persist in standardized optimization procedures, long-term performance evaluation, and cost–benefit integration. The review concludes that performance-based design, integrating composite materials and computational modeling, can advance the efficiency, safety, and serviceability of modern offshore platforms.},
