유가의 상승에 따른 에너지확보는 매년 국가의 중요한 정책의 하나로 되었으며, 전세계적으로 다양한 탱카선이 건조되어왔고 이들 선박의 운항에 따라 국내에서도 탱가선을 서비스 하기위한 계류, 저장, 이송 시설 등 항만인프라의 구축이 원활하게 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, 이들 시설 중 돌핀부두에의 접이안을 위한 시설의 국내 설계기준은 오래전에 설정된 것으로 보완이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 현재 건조되어 운항되고 있는 전세계의 탱카선의 자료를 수집하고 톤수에 따른 선형을 분석하여 돌핀부두내 작업돌핀, 접안돌핀, 계류돌핀의 적정간격과 계류안정성의 평가에 반영하고, 설계기준의 보완에 대한 의견을 제시하고자 하였다. 분석에는 전세계 250여척의 탱카선의 선형을 조사하였고, 미국, 영국, 캐나다 등 외국의 설계기준과 국내기준의 비교가 이루어졌다.

In this study, the behavior of breasting dolphin caused by the maximum wave height in the coastal area of Incheon has been investigated. The dynamic deflection, shear stress and moment of pile are analyzed using the coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction resulted from loading tests for different DWT (Dead Weight Tonnage). The dynamic characteristics of pile in accumulated and dredged soils show almost the same pattern. It is shown that the resistance of dolphin to external load increases as the diameter of pile increases. The bettered pile dolphin is more than 10 times stable than the vertical pile type based on the study of dynamic characteristics of dolphin.

Dolphin mooring system can be a good candidate for the VLFS fastening system in view point of strength and effectiveness. In the design process of the dolphin system, precise calculation of the wave forces and the subsequent selecting the proper number of the piles adopted are one of the main factors. In this paper, one of the design process of the dolphin system is investigated and a proper configuration of the system is derived based on the structural characteristics of the system that was obtained through the structural analysis of the basic pile element confronted to the external loadings including wave impact load. It was found that lot the better design of ihe mooring system for VLFS, mono pile mooring system is more recommendable in a specific condition than other multi piles mooring system.

The impact protection system consists of an arrangement of circular sheet pile cofferdams-denoted dolphin structuredeeply embedded in the seabed, filled with crushed rock and closed at the top with a robust concrete cap. Centrifuge model tests were performed to investigation the behaviors of dolphins in this study. Total 7 quasi-model tests and 11 dynamic model tests were performed. The main experimental results can be summarized as follows. Firstly, The experimental force-displacement results for quasi-static tests show a limited influence on the initial stiffness of the structure from the change in fill density and the related change in the stiffness of the fill. And by comparing the dissipation at the same dolphin displacement it was found that the denser fill increase the dissipation by 16% for the 20m dolphin and by 23% for the 30m dolphin. The larger sensitivity for the large dolphin is explained by a larger contribution to the dissipation from strain in the fill. In low level impacts the dynamic force-response is up to 26~58% larger than the quasi-static and the dissipation response is showed larger in small displacement. Hence, it is concluded conservative to use the quasi-static response characteristics in the approximation of the response, and it is further concluded that the dolphin resistance to low level impacts is demonstrated to be equivalent and even superior to the high level impacts.

In this study, the behavior of a breasting dolphin with various dolphin heights and formations in the coastal area of Incheon was investigated. The dynamic deflection, shear stress, and moment of the pile were analyzed using the coefficient of the horizontal subgrade reaction that resulted from loading tests of different DWT (Dead Weight Tonnage). In the case of a vertical pile type dolphin, the deflection, shear stress, and moment increased as the dolphin height increased. In the case of the battered pile type dolphin, small values of shear stress and moment were shown at a low dolphin height, and the characteristics of the dynamic behavior of the dolphin showed that the deflection, shear stress, and moment increased as the pile slope of the dolphin decreased or the DWT increased.

In this paper, a practical procedure for the design optimization of tubular-steel-pile-type substructure in a mooring dolphin is investigated and numerically evaluated. In the finite-dimensional optimum design formulation, geometry and cross-sectional shapes of classified group of piles are identified as design variables. The design objective is the total weight of piles, and the design constraints on stresses, penetration depth, and size limits are imposed. Several classes of practical design alternatives are sought through the linking and fixing of design variables. Among the available numerical optimization codes, both PLBA program and DNCONF subroutine in IMSL library are used. They are based on SQP algorithm and relatively easy to get. A dolphin of numerical example has 20 tubular steel piles, 4 vertical and 16 inclined. Optimum designs for different cases are successfully obtained for the practical purpose.

The very large floating structure which can be used for as airport may be as large as several kilometer long and wide. The first order wave forces as well as wave drift forces are very important forces on such a very large floating structures. In the present study, the time simulation of motion responses for dolphin-moored VLFS in waves is presented. The hydrodynamic coefficients and wave forces involved in the equations are obtained from a three-dimensional panel method in the frequency domain. The horizontal drift forces and mooring forces for dolphin systems are taken into account. As for numerical example, time domain analyses are carried out for a VLFS(Phase I) in irregular wave condition.

The objective of BMP( Barge Mounted Plant) project is to construct plants on mooring floating structures at sea. To analyze the pile behavior under mooring dolphins, generally, axial or lateral behavior of soil-pile system is evaluated by using a nonlinear subgrade reaction method which models the pile as a structural element and the soil as series of nonlinear springs along the depth. As a result, load-displacement curves at pile head can be solved by finite difference method and the equivalent stiffness of bottom boundaries of dolphin structure is evaluated. In this study off-shore site investigation was performed on the marine area of Koje Island and axial and lateral load transfer curves of the ground were modeled with depth. The subgrade reaction analysis was performed for piles under axial or lateral loadings, and the required penetration depth and section of the pile were determined. Subsequently, the spring boundaries under the dolphin structure could be modeled from the calculated load-displacement curve and then the dynamic response of the dolphin structure was analyzed reasonably by considering ground conditions. The analysis considering the stiffness of the soil-pile system has resulted in larger displacement amplitudes than those for rigid foundations. Furthermore, moment distributions of the casing were dependent on the soil-pile system so that deformable foundation induces the larger moment of top section of casing and the smaller moment of pile head.
