Abstract EN
Since static analysis procedures in the vessel impact-resistant design codes neglect dynamic amplification effects related to bridge mass, ship-impact responses of bridges may be potentially underestimated.
For this reason, several dynamic vessel-impact analysis techniques had been recently proposed, where a force-deformation curve was employed to model the vessel bow stiffness.
Most of the recent works mainly focused on the force-deformation curves of the barge bows rather than the ship bows.
In this paper, a high-resolution finite element model is developed to obtain the ship bow force-deformation curves.
The global and local characteristics of the ship bow force-deformation curves are discussed based on the finite element crush analyses between the ship bows and the rigid walls.
Effect of pile-cap depth on the force-deformation curves (rather than only impact forces) is studied in detail, and the corresponding empirical equations are developed using an energy ratio method.
Finally, a practical example of ship-bridge collision is investigated to validate the force-deformation curves considering the effect of pile-cap depth.
It is found from the case study that the effect of pile-cap depth plays an important role in quantifying structural demand under impact loads.
The case study also indicates that the developed equations are reasonable in practical applications.
