| Abstract: |
The compressed steel-rubber composite anti-collision device is a new type of self-floating device protect bridges from ship collision, which can significantly reduce the structural damage caused by ship collision. The use of compressed tires recycles the old tires and increases the elasticity of the device. Based on experimental analysis, the paper continued to develop detailed finite element model to investigate the behavior of the anti-collision device. Besides the comparison with the test results, parametrical study was developed including the thickness, position, number of the diaphragms to evaluate the sensitive parameters, so as to determine the design parameters for different collision conditions. Finally, a simplified design method including the key parameters was proposed to simplify the design process of anti-collision design. |
