Structural grillage of any open type is to connect the upper and lower tanks at the side of the vessel. Figure 1 indicates a profile and a typical transverse section of the new hull form. The new hull comprises the concept of reduced water plane area which is turn results in low ...
From the slab, the load goes to the precast longitudinal (main) girders MG1 to MG4, connected in the transverse direction with prestressed concrete cross girders (CG) to form the grillage. Main girders run approximately from the centre of one pier to the centre of another pier and are not...
For the described object, the target FEM model consisting of 1D and 2D elements combined in a 3D space should be prepared, in which the girders and the deck slab are represented by 1D elements, which form the grillage. In the BIM model, the superstructure was created using a single ...
