| Summary: | This project studies on the telescopic walkway design of the jetty gangway used in the
oil and gas industry jetties. The objective of the project is to conduct study on the
optimal design parameters for the telescopic walkway of gangway which suits the
operational conditions at various jetties of the oil and gas companies in the South East
Asia region. The limitations with respect to various marine terminal aspects are studied
and the drawbacks are analyzed. Besides, the tidal conditions in the South East Asia
region are surveyed to obtain the range of tidal conditions that the design must comply
with. Upon gathering data regarding the standard structural beams which are
appropriate for the design, static load analysis is done and the data is incorporated into a
Microsoft Excel worksheet. This worksheet is a primary tool to analyze different
parameters of the beams and its stress distributions. The study managed to produce
results on the shear force, bending moments, shear stress and bending stress which
would be essential to understand how telescopic beams are subjected to stress
distributions. The study on the tidal conditions on the other hand has revealed the range
of beam length that can be standardized for the South East Asia region. |
