The Effect of Fishing Basin Construction On the Behaviour of a Footbrdge Over the Port Channel

Abstract

The paper analyses possible causes of failure of the rotating footbridge over the Ustka port channel. In July, 2015, strange

Preliminary Field Tests and Long-Term Monitoring as a Method of Design Risk Mitigation: A Case Study of Gdańsk Deepwater Container Terminal

“…Traditional ground engineering projects are usually based on a single, robust design and there is often no intention of varying the design during the construction phase [17]. Optional monitoring, if carried out, plays a very passive role to check only if the original predictions are still valid and provide confidence to all parties involved in the process (eg.…”

Computational simulations of the cable-stayed bridge over the Vistula River in Krakow

“…The FEM computational analysis was performed during the design process to prove the fulfillment of a load capacity condition in final state, construction stages and to check the critical details of the superstructure. The experience gained in the course if analysis, similarly to the cases presented in [2][3][4][5][6][7][8], indicates the importance of the method to computationally simulate the structural behaviour. A key problem is the selection of an appropriate theoretical description due to an analysed issue in order to yield correct conclusions.…”

LNG Tank in Świnoujście: Nonlinear Analysis of the Tank Dome Elements Behaviour

“…Structural responses in different loading conditions of ships, floating structures and rig equipment have been studied in [7][8][9][10]. Structures that enable effective operation and exploitation of docks, shipyards and terminals, such as retaining walls, bridges and tanks, have also been analysed in the field of their response predicted by means of the finite element method (FEM) or methods resulting from sensor measurements [11][12][13][14].…”
