Design Analysis of Dock Apron Skidway Blocks

Article Preview

Abstract:

As for jacket dragging load-out foundations, the concrete skidway blocks were prone to be sheared and wrecked, especially the outer blocks, for they generally swung with the tugboat. This paper takes dragging load-out of LS36-1 jacket on 3# skidway for example, and proposes a design analysis for dock apron skidway blocks. The design philosophy is replacing original concrete blocks with steel blocks, and the new steel blocks not only have good shear strength and compressive strength, but they are also easier to connect and fix with skidway. In addition, some essential strengthen measures are adopted, reformed 3# skidway blocks are ready for much heavier modules and jackets dragging load-out works.
