As an example, the design and construction technology of the anti-ship collision suspended steel cofferdam in Shanghai Changjiang River Bridge has been discussed. Design analysis shows that: by using the anti-ship collision suspended steel cofferdam the bridge pier can be protected and adopted lots of collision energy. At the same time, the collision injury degree of the vessel could be reduced. By using the finite element method, the deformation and strain state under the stage of construction and floating-transportation had been analyzed. Considering both the anti-ship collision and the construction, the anti-ship collision suspended steel cofferdam has been designed. In construction stage, the following methods had been developed: the integrally manufacturing method in factory, launching method to river in slideway, fioating-transportion method to the pier position in long distance and set-to-place method by synchronous lifting of two floating cranes. These results listed in this paper are beneficial to the design and construction of the anti-ship collision suspended steel cofferdam.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
