Minimum Required Concrete

A x1x1 system required less minimum
concrete height. In this case, min.
required concrete heig
ht = 7300mm if
top elevation is fix at +9.00,

Minimum Required Concrete

A x1x2 system required much more
minimum concrete height. In this case,
min. required concrete height = 8325mm
if top elevation is fix at +9.00,

Cost of frame

Due to the lower reaction force and
moment on frame, weight of frame is
much lighter (2218 kg)

Cost of frame

Due to the higher reaction force and
moment on frame, weight of frame is
much heavier (4028 kg
)

Installation & Maintenance

Easier as it involves on 1 fender body

Installation & Maintenance

Tougher as it involves on 2 fender bodies


Why the energy absorption of a x1x2 system reduce much more than a x1x1 system
during 5° vertical compression (Fla
re)?

During 5° vertical compression from
flare, fender is compressed to the
maximum where energy absorption
=1,663.30 kN
-
m due to angular reduction
factor.


During 5° vertical compression fro
m flare, top
fender is compressed to the maximum but due
to the pitch of the fenders, lower fender is
compressed by lesser. Therefore, energy
absorption during 5° flare = 1,520.87 kN
-
m
which is much less than the total energy
absorption of each individual
fender under 5°
reduction factor.
