What is maximum allowed spacing for ladders at a bulkhead located in the Miami area?
The subject facility is an industrial waterfront storage terminal tha is serviced by ships.
I found a lot of info on line regarding ladder construction details but seem unable to find anything regarding...
Can anyone tell me what is the required maximum spacing between marine dock safety ladders for an industrial waterfront dock located in the Miami area?
The subject dock is a 1300-ft long sheet pile bulkhead located along the waterfront of an oil terminal, where barges frequently load/unload...
Thanks, cvg.
I found 44/52, 52/60 and 50/61 in the Frodingham catalog.
No 50/60 found so I suppose I should assume similar yield strength to 52/60 or 50/61?
I wish to analyze old Belval BV-4N steel sheet pile retaining wall, located in the US. Historic drawing identifies two types of steel for the sheet piling....44/52 steel and 50/60 steel. Can anyone tell me what these numbers represent? Thanks.
Where can I find rated energy absorption values, reaction values and deflection values for a simple rubber tire used a marine fender.
I have seen several docks for large cargo barges where large diameter rubber tires (in vertical orientation) are hung via cables along the face of a breasting...

BA: Thanks for your feedback. I am considering assuming the PI locations as fictitous "brace" points because the compression flange is the bottom flange in the zones between each PI and each support column. Any idea why the Fluor guidelines (noted previously by one of the repsondents) would...
Thank you all for your replies. For uniform loading, distance between points of inflection equals approx 60% of the beam length when both ends are fixed, approx 80% of the beam length when both ends are partially fixed, and 100% of the beam length when both ends are pinned. In my case I would...
I am designing a simple span steel I-beam to support future piping (quantities, sizes and support fastening conditions of the piping will vary and are unknown at this time) and my client advised me to assume 800 PLF uniform (piping DL + LL) load acting across the full length of the beam. They...
The "law of capitalistic entropy", or, the "law of diminishing middle class", as I like to call it, seems to be in effect doesn't it? But then again, it has been this way since the dawn of mankind. There have been some blips throughout history when the middle class prevailed...
But why is it more cost effective to send our jobs overseas?
It's simple. Because our government permits the rest of the world to hold lower standards than our own when it comes to workers' rights, environmental protection, permitting issues, and the civil legal system, all extremely costly and...
