Floating dock (aluminium)
Metalu Industries International
A dock frame consists of 2 edge profiles connected to each other by crossbars and diagonals. The size of these components depends on the berthing and securing stresses taken into consideration.
Once determined, these stresses are fed into a computer programme which calculates the required strength of the structures. This determines the types of edge profiles required and the number and cross-section of the crossbars and diagonals to be used.
