Chapter 4abFigure 2parablebe reported in <strong>the</strong> operating manual, <strong>the</strong> dock de<strong>for</strong>mationsare compatible with <strong>the</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lifted structure.4.5 Transverse strengtha = 5,3 P / (CL ) (kNm)cb = 6,3 P / (CL ) (kNm)cCL cL c4.5.1 GeneralThe transverse strength <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dock is to be checked both in<strong>the</strong> middle and in <strong>the</strong> end areas and scantlings are to besuch that, with <strong>the</strong> dock in <strong>the</strong> load conditions indicated in[4.4.1], <strong>the</strong> state <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> structure does not exceed <strong>the</strong> allowablestate.Whenever more exact data are not available and heavierload conditions are not anticipated, <strong>the</strong> conventional checkcriteria given in <strong>the</strong> following items may be assumed.L c : length <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dock (see [1.2.6]), in mP : design lifting capacity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dock (see Ch 2,[2.3.2]), in tC : coefficient given by <strong>the</strong> ratio between <strong>the</strong> length<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> shortest ship intended to be lifted and <strong>the</strong>length <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dock, to be assumed not more than<strong>the</strong> values given in Tab 8 as a function <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> liftingcapacity.4.5.2 Dry <strong>Docks</strong>a) Load on floor1) For continuous pontoon dry docks with liftingcapacity P ≤ 40000 t, <strong>the</strong> load condition indicatedin Fig 3 is to be considered.Figure 34.4.2 Scantlings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> midship sectionThe scantlings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> midship section <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dock are to besuch that, in <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bending moment derivedfrom <strong>the</strong> load condition described in [4.4.1], <strong>the</strong> state <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>structure does not exceed <strong>the</strong> allowable state.Whenever more accurate determinations are lacking, <strong>the</strong>values <strong>of</strong> bending moment given by <strong>the</strong> following equationsmay be conventionally assumed:a) sagging bending moment, in kN·m:M sag = (1,25 - 1,10 C) P L cBFF = 11 P / (CL c ) (kNm)b) hogging bending moment, in kN·m:M hag = 5 M inswhere P, L c , C have <strong>the</strong> meanings given in [4.4.1].Where a non-uni<strong>for</strong>m ballast distribution is <strong>for</strong>eseen, it is tobe checked that, in <strong>the</strong> same load condition but with uni<strong>for</strong>mlydistributed ballast, <strong>the</strong> structure state does notexceed <strong>the</strong> limit state.2) For continuous pontoon dry docks with liftingcapacity P > 40000 t, <strong>the</strong> heavier <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> load conditionsindicated in Fig 4 and Fig 5 is to be considered.B uFigure 44.4.3 Extension <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> end scantlingsThe scantlings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> main section are to be kept over alength equal to at least to 0,4 L c in <strong>the</strong> middle, and <strong>the</strong>nmay be gradually reduced in way <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ends.B mFF=8P/(CL ) (kN/m)c4.4.4 Non-continuous pontoon and walls docksFor non-continuous pontoon and walls docks <strong>the</strong> bendingmoment and shearing stress are to be determined takinginto account <strong>the</strong> connections between <strong>the</strong> various elements.The Interested Parties are to supply documentation certifyingthat in <strong>the</strong> most severe conditions <strong>of</strong> actual operation, toB3) For non-continuous pontoon dry docks, <strong>the</strong> loadcondition F indicated in Fig 3 is to be considered <strong>for</strong><strong>the</strong> whole length <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dock.<strong>Rules</strong> <strong>for</strong> floating docks 2010 19
