Statusrapport
Preferred solution, K12 – Appendix J - Ship collision
This report describes the status of ship collision analyses in the concept development work of a floating bridge over Bjørnafjorden. Both global and local effects are considered. The only damping sources that gives a significant contribution to the bridge response following an impact are viscous damping on pontoons and mooring lines, causing an improved response with more mooring. Comparison of global behavior in OrcaFlex and LS-DYNA reveal similar but not identical responses.
