Risk to old bridges due to ship impact on German inland waterways
نویسنده
چکیده
The following paper describes the investigation of two old bridges over inland waterways in Germany under a possible ship impact. Both the numbers of ship impacts against bridges in Germany and the structural description of the bridges has been intensively dealt with. The investigation is based on probabilistic calculations to take into consideration the uncertainty of a possible impact and the uncertainty of material parameters of the old bridges. The results are presented in terms of failure probability for the original bridges and additional strengthening measures and also in terms of risk.

A model of navigation-induced currents in inland waterways and implications for juvenile fish displacement.
The likely extension of commercial inland navigation in the future could increase hazards directly impacting on the nurseries of freshwater fish, especially for smaller individuals with limited swimming abilities. One limitation of the evaluation of inland navigation on fish assemblages is the lack of suitable hydraulic models. This article presents a hydraulic model to assess the increase of n...

متن کاملSquat Assessment for Safe Navigation of River Nile Cruisers
In recent years a great deal of research efforts in ship hydromechanics have been devoted to practical navigation problems in moving larger ships safely into existing harbors and inland waterways. An area of particular concern is the prediction of ship squat in shallow or restricted waters at different speeds. Squat may cause grounding of the ship which result in severe damage to the ship, and ...
متن کاملAssessing the risks of aquatic species invasions via European inland waterways: from concepts to environmental indicators.
Over the past century, the potential for aquatic species to expand their ranges in Europe has been enhanced both as a result of the construction of new canals and because of increased international trade. A complex network of inland waterways now connects some previously isolated catchments in southern (Caspian, Azov, Black, Mediterranean seas) and northern (Baltic, North, Wadden, White seas) E...
