Discussion on Design of Mooring Dolphin Based on British Standard
Based on actual projects,BS Standard-based calculation method and process of mooring force are described in detail,including the calculation of wind load,water current force and the maximum mooring force of a single cable,which produces the specifications of mooring facilities.The mooring force calculation results are used to analyze various working conditions that need to be considered in the design of mooring dolphin based on British standard,which also compare with the calculation requirements based on Chinese standard.The comparison results show that the maximum mooring force calculated as per British Standard is larger than that stipulated in Chinese Standard,and British Standard has stricter requirements on the control of displacement.This research can provide a certain reference for the design of mooring dolphin in oversea ports.
