OPTIMIZATION OF THE REINFORCEMENT OF THE TYPICAL CAISSON FOR THE QUAY ATTACHED TO THE ALGORTA BREAKWATER, BILBAO

[bloque_categoria_proyecto]
Scope:
Detail Engineering
Location:
Bilbao, Spain

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 the caissons is calculated, both in flotation and anchoring phases.
