Simplified Analytical Method for Estimating the Resistance of Lock Gates to Ship Impacts

The present paper is concerned with the design of lock gates submitted to ship impacts. In this paper, a simplified analytical method is presented to evaluate the resistance of such structures under collision. The basic idea is to assume that the resistance is first provided through a local deformin...
