BASIC PROJECT FOR THE ESPLANADE AND COMMERCIAL QUAYS SHELTERED BY THE BOTAFOC BREAKWATER IN THE PORT OF IBIZA. BALEARIC ISLANDS (SPAIN)
Basic Project for commercial quays sheltered by the Botafoc Breakwater, consisting of: • Longitudinal quay and esplanade, on the shore of Isla Plana, consisting of 3 types of caissons anchored at levels -14, -10.6 and 7.8. • Transverse quays: two piled quays to reduce wave agitation in the basin.
OPTIMIZATION OF THE REINFORCEMENT OF THE TYPICAL CAISSON FOR THE QUAY ATTACHED TO THE ALGORTA BREAKWATER, BILBAO
Optimization of the reinforcement of the typical caisson for the Project using two distinct methodologies: • Traditional method, based on structural simplifications for stress calculation. Reinforcement calculation is performed according to EHE 08 and the Caisson Manual. • Method based on finite element programs (FEM). Modeling with 3D Structural Analysis Software.Additionally, the naval stability of […]
