Regulating of load pressure of ships with huge overhang on dock support devices in dry docks
Reviewed are problems of regulating ship's mass load transfer onto the dock bed. The author presents analysis algorithm allowing to evaluate the conformity of load-carrying ability of dry docks bed with weight-overall parameters of ships assumed to be docked in them, as well as the ways to overcome such nonconformity. Cited are the results of calculation of large ship with huge overhang docking in dry dock with restricted load-carrying ability.
