| 摘要： | The ultimate goal of this project is to mitigate uncertainty and assumptions regarding load demands on ferry terminal structures. Specifically, ferry landing structures. For Alaska Marine Highway (AMH) facilities, loads imposed on dolphin structures and mooring line loads are of most concern. Due to a lack of information regarding the magnitude of these loads or how they may be determined, AMH engineers are forced to make (sometimes gross) design assumptions due to inadequate information. The Washington State Ferry (WSF) system must also confront these uncertainties. Specifically, in the design of wingwall structures that accept vessels during loading/unloading of passengers and vehicles. The benefits of this research initiative will be to provide information necessary for safe and efficient designs of ferry berthing and landing facilities. The results of this research should decrease the uncertainty in design criteria and remove assumptions associated with procedures traditionally used in the design of these structures. Ideally, the project should result in a design point, consistent with Load-Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) philosophy. This will allow confident use of existing design codes for materials typically used to construct such facilities. |
