Barge Analysis

Evaluation of Gantry equipment sea Fastening

Gantry feet in relation to underdeck stiffening

As well as traditional empirical hand calculation techniques Lupus Engineering Services Ltd also use Finite Element Analysis. Here a barge deck and gantry structure are evaluated together.

Typical loading considerations include:

Wind

Vessel Motion loads

Dead Load

Operating Loads

Design evaluation is carried out in accordance with a variety of design codes such as:

Lloyds Rules

DNV Rules

Bureau Veritas Rules

ABS Rules

AISC

We employ the following FEA packages:
