ANALYSIS OF CONTAINER BERTH

CONTAINER BERTH
A berth for loading an unloading of containerized cargo to and from the ship

A berth generally with a large stacking yard for

handling containerized cargo, which may also be used as a general cargo berth.

ANALYSIS OF CONTAINER BERTH

(Example)

Considered as a total length of berth 820 m divided

into 13 blocks each of 75 m. Width of the container berth is 40 m span of container crane is 30 m. Two container cranes are considered for the analysis.

 FENDERS
Fender of suitable design shall be provided for container vessel of 104 000 DWT.

UNIT WEIGHT
Reinforced concrete : Plain concrete : 25 kN/m3 24 kN/m3

TEMPERATURE EFFECT
Coefficient of thermal expansion for concrete is taken to be 9 x 10-6 per C according to Clause 6.2.6 of IS 456:2000.

ELASTIC PROPERTIES
For elastic analysis of structures, the instantaneous or short term elastic modulus of concrete (Ec) shall be determined in accordance with Clause 6.2.3.1. of IS 456:2000.
Department of Ocean Engineering, IIT Madras

LOADS
DEAD LOADS
Density of reinforced concrete = 25 kN/m3 Density of plain concrete = 24 kN/m3 Density of steel = 78.5 kN/m3 Super Imposed Dead Loads Superimposed dead load on main quay deck = 2.5kN/m2 to allow for surfacing. Loads of Fenders & Bollards etc. are evaluated separately.

LIVE LOADS
Live load taken is 5 T/m2 within the crane rail after allowing clearance of 1.5 m from crane and 1 T/m2 on cantilever slab between cope line and seaside crane rail after allowing space for bollards, coping and slots for cabling for container crane.

 VEHICLE LOADS ON DECK

IRC-Class AA-70 R Loading Trailer Truck Loading In accordance with the impact factor to be applied on IRC loading and trailer truck loading will be one-third of the impact factor specified in IRC 6.

WAVE LOADS:
Wave forces are calculated in accordance with IS 4651 Part 3. The charts given in the US Ar5my Shore protection Manual are used.
Drag coefficient CD = 0.7 Inertia coefficient Cm = 2.0 100 mm marine growth is considered on piles.
Department of Ocean Engineering, IIT Madras

 CURRENT LOADS:
Maximum design current shall be 0.5 m along the quay structure. Allowance for 100 mm marine growth is kept. Forces due to current are calculated using Morisons equation, with CD = 0.7

BERTHING LOADS
Berthing energy shall be calculated in accordance with IS 4651 Part 3. Accident loading (with an additional 50% berthing energy) is considered. A safety factor of 1.4 shall be considered
