ABSTRACT
This study was prepared for accurate and safe structural analysis of various complex load conditions that are difficult to verify through hand calculations by conduction detailed analysis and weak spot reinforcement through the use of ansys program which is a Finite Element Method for radial gate.
Today, radial gate methods include lattice beam and horizontal beam method, horizontal support beam vertical main beam method, and vertical support beam horizontal main beam method. Of these, lattice beam horizontal main beam method that provides most excellent durability of flood gate and does not require processing of beam was selected.
As such, in design, construction, and maintenance management of large scale hydraulic structures that manage and control water, sufficient stability and durability are demanded.
The flood gate section of the radial gate is in the shape of a circular arc, is supported by hinge axis of the gate arm that has a uniform rotation radius, and is structurally constructed so that it moves up and down based on pistons that function based on windlass cables or a hydraulic apparatus.
In this study, boundary conditions were found by hypothesizing three types of load conditions.
Comparative analysis was conducted using case scenarios in which only design water level pressure is applied, design water level pressure and lifting load are simultaneously applied, and design water level pressure, lifting load, and dead weight are simultaneously applied. Conclusively, it was verified high level of sagging and internal stress occurred in the scenario in which design water level and lifting load are simultaneously applied.
In the Arm Hub, it was found that internal stress is significantly reduced when stiffened plate is used compared to when it is not used.
