GENOA'S FLOATING PRESTRESSED CONCRETE DOCK

A description of the 342.82 x 78.25 M wide (OA) dock is given. Behaviour of floating docks under ship loading is dealt with, a structural model is described and finite element analysis of the structure is discussed. The behaviour of the dock subject to design ship loads is considered, and the creep and shrinkage effects are analyzed.
