Strength Analysis of Shipping Container Floor with Gooseneck Tunnel under Heavy Cargo Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

Currently, guidelines for safely loading shipping containers with heavy cargo in the gooseneck tunnel region do not exist. This work investigates the influence of the construction type of the gooseneck tunnel on the strength of the floor of the shipping container. The main objective is to develop guidelines for loading shipping containers with heavy cargo in the gooseneck tunnel region. This paper investigates strength of the floor using finite element method. The finite element analysis shows how the container's floor responds in the given loading scenarios.
