Abstract
This paper describes basic structural design for the large floating crane barge of fixed undulation type. Structural analysis was performed separately after dividing the floating crane into two parts, The crane part was composed of jib boom, back stay and back tower and the barge part supported the crane part. The structural strength for jib boom structural members are in compliance with JIS B 8821 and scantling of all barge structural members are in compliance with the requirement of KR (Korean Register of Shipping) Steel Barges and Rules for Classification of Steel Ships. For the structural analysis of large floating crane, MSC/NASTRAN and MSC/PATRAN software were used.
