| 摘要： | The Brisbane City Council operates a high speed ferry service (the City Cat) on a 14 kilometer route along the Brisbane River. The Council is progressively upgrading the older terminals along the ferry route. In 2001 the first series of upgrades consisting of four new 'Parksite' terminals were opened. In mid 2003 a new Riverside terminal will become operational. These new terminals have been commissioned primarily to satisfy increased ferry patronage and enhanced safety requirements. Maximizing safety for patrons has been fundamental to many of the key decisions taken in the design process. Particular safety issues incorporated into these terminals include: THE PONTOON The 'Parksite' pontoons have been specifically designed as large in plan and draft with a 1 metre wide edge damping plates to limit movements from boat wakes. These plates act similar to a winged keel of a yacht. The pontoon has also a front wedge shaped attachment to minimize eddying (and movements) around the pontoon from the strong river currents of up to 3m/sec. The pontoon has a range of other features including crowd control, scramble out ladders, pump out facilities, roof shelter and other standard componentry. The requirements of the brief has necessitated the pontoon as three separate units with componentry suited for yearly inspection ACCIDENTAL VESSEL IMPACT The normal berthing criteria for the terminals is with the City Cat impacting at up to 0.5m/sec. An additional accidental velocity of 3m/sec has required alterations to the size and configuration of the fenders and the support piling to ensure the structure behaves in a reasonably controlled manner. Performance acceptability for this large berthing energy has been based on limiting deformations and accelerations along with keeping the structure within elastic stress limits. ACCESSIBILITY The ferry terminals have been designed to Council's accessibility's requirements and to meet the draft Disability Standard for Accessible Public Transport (DSAPT). This standard has received Federal Cabinet's authorisation in October 2000. Additionally, the Queensland 'Workplace, Health, and Safety' organisation have placed their own requirements on the terminals which are in general more onerous than the Australian Building Code. |
