Project description

Design and strength calculations to verify the construction of a tank (caisson). The caisson is designed for below-water welding work on piles embedded in the bed of the Skalda River for mooring watercraft. The project’s main objective was to develop a caisson design that is fixed to the piles while minimising interference with their structure.

Solution

Structural design of the caisson with strength calculations. The design was made in Solidworks, the strength calculations of the caisson were carried out in the OptiStruct Analysis environment of the HyperWorks package, using the quasi-static non-linear calculation algorithm.

The result

A successfully completed structure that meets the client’s requirements.
