1.0 Introduction
Indian Oil LNG Private Ltd. (IOLPL) is planned to set up LNG import, storage and regasification terminal
including LNG road tanker loading facility along with all the associated facilities and off-sites at Ennore
Kamarajar Port in Tamil Nadu, India.
The broad scope of the project facilities can be summarised as follows:
● LNG Storage Tanks and Associated Facilities
● Regasification Facilities including Offsites and Utility Blocks
● Marine Facilities including Jetty
IOLPL has awarded the contract to M/s L&T Construction for carrying out the design and construction of
Marine facilities and nominated M/s Amec Foster Wheeler Iberia S.L.U as a consultant for this project.
The Marine facilities include a jetty within the port along with associated facilities like Mooring Dolphins,
Berthing Dolphins, Unloading Platform, Approach Trestle etc.
This document describes the analysis and design of Mooring Dolphins (MD) for the LNG Terminal.
2.0 Key Plan
The below figure shows the location of Mooring Dolphins.

Figure 2: Mooring Dolphins Plan View
Figure 3: Mooring Dolphins Elevation and Side View
The unloading platform and dolphins are inter connected by walkways. The unloading platform is connected
to the shore by an approach trestle. Mooring dolphins consist of a concrete slab supported by steel piles.
Six mooring dolphins,each of size 12 x 12 m, three at each side of the unloading platform are provided for
the installation of the triple quick release hooks (QRH) of 3x150 tonnes for both the bow and stern ends.
Additionally, these structures shall support other equipment (a safety ladder, handrails, rope guards,
lighting, etc.) and utilities (electricity and lighting services) required for terminal operation.
A hand railing shall be provided along the periphery of the dolphin deck at positions not conflicting with
the mooring lines. The dolphin edge shall be provided with a rope guard to prevent chafing of the mooring
line. Access from water to end dolphins is possible by means of vertical steel ladders.
Each mooring dophin is supported by 9 number of steel piles (1H:3V rake). These piles are designed by
X56 grade steel with 1066mm dia. and different thickness depending on the zone (air, splash, submerged
and buried). The length of piles ranges from (-)29.00 m CD to (-)34.00 m CD, depending on the axial force
transmitted to ground.


The superstructure consists of M40 concrete slab where the quick release hooks are anchored. Elevation
for this slab is (+)7.50 m CD.

7.0 Design Soil Profile
A detailed soil investigation is planned at the proposed site of LNG Terminal. This document covers the
Mooring Dolphins i.e, MD2, MD3, MD4 & MD5, which are located near to shore line. The bore holes at
this location are MBH-2 and MBH-6. Presently the investigations are not started at this location. The
completed bore hole MBH-14 were used which is nearly 200m away from the present dolphins location.
The following design soil profile has been considered for arriving the pile capacities based on the field
investigation data. This profile will be rechecked and updated as per the exact bore log data.

Furthermore, the following wind coefficients are used (IS 875 - Part 3):
Risk Coefficient, k1 = 1.0
Terrain, Height and Structure Size Factor, k2 = 1.1
Topography Factor, k3 = 1.0
Operating Condition:
Design wind speed, Vzo = Vb*k1*k2*k3 = 16.5*1.0*1.1*1.0 = 18.15 m/s
Design wind pressure, Pzo = 0.6*(Vzo)^2 = 0.6*18.15*18.15/1000 = 0.20 kN/m2
Extreme Condition:
Design wind speed, Vze = Vb*k1*k2*k3 = 50*1.0*1.1*1.0 = 55 m/s
Design wind pressure, Pze = 0.6*(Vze)^2 = 0.6*55*55/1000 = 1.82 kN/m2

9.6 Seismic Load
The seismic forces are calculated as per the Cl: 6.4.2 of IS: 1893 (Part 1)-2002 and as per the Cl: 8.3.2
of IS: 1893 (Part 4) - 2005.
The design horizontal seismic coefficient, Ah = Z/2*I/R*Sa/g
Z = Zone Factor (Table 2 of IS: 1893-2002, Part-1), Zone-III = 0.16
I = Importance Factor (Table 2 of IS: 1893-2005, Part-4) = 1.75
R = Response Reduction Factor (Table 3 of IS: 1893-2005, Part-4) = 3.0
Sa/g = Ave. Response Acceleration Coefficient (Fig. 2 of IS: 1893-2002, Part-1)
The seismic force shall be calculated for 50 % of the design live load.
9.7 Temperature Load
The highest temperature is recorded in May and June with a mean maximum temperature of about 36.5ºC.
The lowest temperature is recorded in January with a mean minimum temperature of about 20.7ºC.
The design air temperature conditions are: Max 37ºC and Min 20ºC.


For Temperature loading, the total temperature variation shall be considered as the average maximum
annual variation in temperature. The average maximum annual variation in temperature for this purpose
shall be taken as the difference between the mean of daily minimum ambient temperature during the
coldest month of the year and mean of daily maximum ambient temperature during the hottest month
of the year. The structure shall be designed to withstand the stresses due to 50% of the total
temperature variation.
Design total temperature = 0.5*(37-20) = ± 8.5 o C
Temperature rise and fall including shrinkage is considered as two primary load cases.
As per Cl. 6.2.4.1, Shrinkage strain considered for design = 0.0003
Equivalent temp. due to shrinkage = 0.0003/11.7*10 -6 = 25.65 o C
Temperature Rise, TR = 8.5 o C
(Shrinkage loads along with Temperature Rise is ignored since both are in opposite directions.)
Temperature Fall along with Shrinkage, TF = 34.15 o C

11.0 Structural Idealization and Analysis
11.1 Structural Model
The Six Mooring Dolphins are categorised into two types based on the bed level infront of the dolphins
i.e. MD1 & MD6 as one category and MD2, MD3, MD4 & MD5 as second category. This document
deals with the analysis and design of Mooring Dolphins MD2, MD3, MD4 & MD5.
The typical Mooring Dolphin is idealised as a 3D space frame. In 3D model, piles are modelled as beam
elements and deck slab as plate elements. The piles are interconnected at top by deck slab.
The analysis is done by using the Fixity Depth Method with Structural Analysis and Design Software
"STAAD.Pro V8i (Select Series 4)". Structural Analysis has been carried out by considering different
load combinations over the structure as detailed in Annexure-A.

In Fixity depth method piles were modeled upto a fixed depth where the bending moments are maximum.
The fixity depth considered for the present case is seven times the diameter of the pile from the bed level.
The approximate bed level at the Mooring Dolphins front and back are (-)6.00m CD and (-)3.00m CD.
The virtual ground surface (VGS) is considered as (-)4.50m CD based on the bed levels.

11.2 Staad Input
The structural geometry, materials, loads and load combinations defined in STAAD Pro are presented
in the Annexure-B.
12.0 Analysis Results
Results obtained from the analysis are presented in the Annexure-C.
13.0 Method of Design
All steel piles are designed by working stress design method as per API RP 2A - WSD. Deck slab is
designed by Ultimate Limit State Design method (ULS) and checked for Serviceability Limit State (SLS)
as per IS: 456. The design of different structural components will be based on the design forces obtained
from the analysis. All components are designed to sustain safely the effect of various load combinations
with safety/load factors for ULS/SLS conditions that can possibly co-exist.
14.0 Design Summary
The structural design of pile is presented in the Annexure-D.
The deck slab design is presented in the Annexure-E.


Geotechnical capacity of piles and founding levels are presented in Annexure-F.
