Wharf Design Capacity Calculation Guide

The document discusses the design capacity calculations for a port project in Lucena. It specifies a design loading capacity of 2.44 tons per square meter and notes the intake head weight is 95 tons. It then calculates that with a working load of 0.5 tons per square meter, the total loading weight of 2.4 tons per square meter is less than the allowed 1 ton, so the design criteria are satisfied. Steel plates measuring 9m x 9m will be placed under the intake head structure to distribute the loading weight.

Calculation of design capacity

Lucena Port

13km

Site

1. Design criteria
According to wharf design
Design loading capacity; 500Pond/sq.f = 2.44ton/sq.m -
Condition of calculation for actual loading weight
Intake head weight : 95 ton -
Working load : 0.5 ton/sq.m - Working load is to consider temporary
material and working tools during
fabirication.

Intake head is as shown above.


Intake head base : 7.0m x 7.0m -
Therefore
Loading weight = / +
= 2.4 t/sq.m < OK

We will place steel plates under Intake head structure due to distribute loading
weight. Its dimension is 9.0 m x 9.0 m as shown below.
