Abstract

It is proposed to install a single loading arm on an existing jetty berth with a provision for two more additional arms in the future. As an alternative to major modifications to the existing deck slab. Strength assessment of the slab has been performed. Steel grillage spreader has been used to spread the loading arm loads. Having established by finite element analyses that the deck slab has ample reserve capacity to carry the additional loads from a single loading arm serviceability limit state for crack width has been performed. The applied moments in the slab due to a single loading arm have been obtained by finite element analyses. Subsequently, crack widths for the corresponding applied moments have been calculated. The results indicated that the maximum crack width is within the acceptable limit.
