General Study Of Floating Causeway Pier

The floating causeway pier system studied in the thesis is set along sea. It is usedfor the load and unload of the low-freeboard ship such as lighter or small-typetransportation ship and as an emergency facility of transportation shoreward. Inaccording to the requirement of mission, the system should be adapt to many shipsand can be assembled and unassembled.Based on the floating causeway pier system mission requirements and theprinciple of working of the system, the general arrangement of system is studied, andthe pontoon-types and causeway section types constitutes of floating causeway piersystem are analyzed, be after, the primary assemble flow of system is explained in thearticle. For the environmental loading of the floating causeway system, we use theapproximately method of single-ship wind and wave and current static load, affordingnecessarily environmental information and data for the design of floating causewaypier anchor system. Also, based on Load Code for Harbour Engineering, diversified shiploading acting on seaward of the causeway pierhead is quantificational calculationed,preparing for the design of pierhead pontoons and ensuring security and adaptabilityand endure of the pier configuration.Floating causeway pier system can be seen as a multi-floating assemble configuration, andthe loading acting on the connector is more complexity in the wave. Take account of waveaffection in the shallow sea, the shearing force loading on the connector is static forecast usingmethod of float-state equilibrium, providing the comparable basis for the design offloating causeway pier system.
