Abstract:This study proposes an optimal design of a dolphin structure under offshore load conditions such as berthing, mooring, wind, wave, and current loads. The design objective is to reduce the total weight of the pile structure by determining its diameter, thickness, and arraying direction with constraints of axial compressive pressure-bending moment ratio and total displacement. As design requirements, the stress has to be satisfied under the allowable compressive pressure-bending moment, and the total displacemen… Show more
