... Abstract In coastal areas, and especially fjords, the wave field can present inhomogeneities that affect the responses of floating bridges among other very large floating structures. Recent studies have begun to include the effects of such inhomogeneities in the design phase. To that end...

... Abstract During the lifetime of floating bridges, the structural components are exposed to ship collision hazards. In the situation where a pontoon is damaged from a collision accident, an in-site repair operation is needed. If a significant damage has occurred, a floating drydock may be used...

... Abstract Ship collisions are a notable hazard for any bridge spanning a water way. Globally, one sees an increase in the number of planned floating bridges. These long-span floating bridges have unique aspects when exposed to ship collision events due to their size, flexibility, mooring...

... Abstract This paper is concerned with a computational study on the hydroelastic response of a long, straight and side-anchored fjord-crossing floating bridge accounting for the wave-current interaction. The effect of this interaction on a single bridge pontoon is investigated by using the three...

... Floating Bridge Mooring System Design Analysis Discrete Element Method In order to get better understanding on the response of floating bodies, different design aspects of mooring lines has been investigated in this paper. Mooring lines are categerized into two types; the catenary...
