This study presents an analysis of the structural strength of a HDPE Floating Dock by replacing its material with Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC). The safety factor of the floating dock, using HDPE material, was found to be inadequate with a safety factor of 1.27—below the acceptable range of 2-3 for dynamic loads. Followed by simulations using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to model real-world conditions. Standards such as SABS ISO 4427 were applied to assess the safety and structural integrity of the dock under various loading conditions. Solidworks was utilized for 3D modeling, and ANSYS for stress analysis. The results indicated that UHPC, with design compressive strength of 180 MPa, significantly improved the dock’s performance. The maximum stress recorded was 4.703 MPa, and the safety factor increased to 38.27, which exceeds the required safety standards. This demonstrates that UHPC is a viable material for enhancing the structural safety and durability of floating docks.

摘要

This study presents an analysis of the structural strength of a HDPE Floating Dock by replacing its material with Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC). The safety factor of the floating dock, using HDPE material, was found to be inadequate with a safety factor of 1.27—below the acceptable range of 2-3 for dynamic loads. Followed by simulations using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to model real-world conditions. Standards such as SABS ISO 4427 were applied to assess the safety and structural integrity of the dock under various loading conditions. Solidworks was utilized for 3D modeling, and ANSYS for stress analysis. The results indicated that UHPC, with design compressive strength of 180 MPa, significantly improved the dock’s performance. The maximum stress recorded was 4.703 MPa, and the safety factor increased to 38.27, which exceeds the required safety standards. This demonstrates that UHPC is a viable material for enhancing the structural safety and durability of floating docks.
