SPRINGING RESPONSES OF A TAUT-MOORED COLUMN-FOOTING TYPE FLOATING BODY

Seismic Behavior of Prefabricated Column-Footing Connection

Results of an experimental investigation of the seismic performance of prefabricated column-footing connections are presented. Tests were conducted on six 1/4-scale prefabricated column specimens inserted into prefabricated footings in two Groups. Group-1 consisted of four specimens, which were tested under constant axial load and cyclic inelastic lateral displacements. The remaining two specim...

Design, Analysis and Verification of Moored Floating Caisson System

Tacoma Narrows Constructors (TNC) is building a new suspension bridge in Tacoma, close to Seattle, Washington State, USA. The new bridge will be built just south of the existing bridge mounted on two caissons, referred to as East Caisson (Tacoma side) and West Caisson (Gig Harbor side). Each pier is about 80’ wide and 130’ long in plan. The mooring system for each caisson consists of two sets o...

DEVELOPING A FORMULA TO REPRESENT THE SECOND-ORDER WAVE EFFECTS ON MOORED FLOATING STRUCTURES

The effects of wave direction, frequency and the waterline shape of floating structures on the wave mean drift force formula have been considered separately by several authors but there isn't a general formula to take into account all of these effects. In this regard, Faltinsen’s wave drift force formula has been modified by adding finite draft coefficient. The results obtained from this formu...
