Crane analysis:

The wind force for 1 pontoon with 2 drums

The area of drums outside the water:2*0.1m*1.5m=0.3 m2

Pipe surface area =0.5*6=3
Total wind exposed area :3.3m2
Safety cofficient :1.2
3.3m2*1.2=3.96=4m2

Wind Speed and Absorption Depending on Height

From the ground Wind speed Suction
Height v q
M m/s (kN/m2)
0- 8 28 0,5
9 – 20 36 0,8
21 - 100 42 1,1
> 100 46 1,3

qpush =0.8q=0.8*0.5=0.4

4m2*0.4kn/m2=1.6kn=163.15kg

For 30 pontoons with 2 drums: The 4894.5 kg pushing force (max wind) is shared
by 2 winch ropes

The load on the winch rope is 2447.2 kg.

Reinforced concrete cube load calculation:

For 1 concrete prism: (1m*1m*0.7m)=0.7m3

Weight: 0,85m3*2500kg/m3=2125 kg
Lifting force of water:0.85m3*1000=850kg
Net Weight In Water : 1 concrete prism :2125kg-850kg=1275kg
Weight of 2 concrete prism In Water : 1275kg*2kg=2550kg

2550 kg > 2447.2 kg Verification is consistent.
