II. MAJOR CONSTRAINTS OF THE PROJECT

II.1. Docking defences

The defense system must be stable with regard to the new efforts generated by the new ship.

II.2. Mooring constraint

The dock subject to mooring efforts on the bollards that are defined in this note of hypotheses

II.3. Constraint related to the gantry

‐ New foundations must be provided to support the new gantry.

‐ It is necessary to take into account the effects of the new gantry on the quay.
III. TOPOGRAPHIC AND BATHYMETRIC DATA
Bathymetric and altimetry surveys are attached to zero ML (marine level).

The zero of MC is located 0.329 m below the zero GFL (French general level).
Bathymetry consists of the measurement of the depth of a body of water by sampling
and processing the corresponding data in order to determine the configuration of the
bottom.

The bathymetric data taken into account are those appearing on the bathymetry plan ‐
plan N° S2345‐DOSSIER MIR – 2010337 – Scale 1/1000, (extract below) in the map
Following:

Figure 3 : Topographic and bathymetric data

Figure 3 : Topographic and bathymetric data

 As part of the development of the Mourepiane container terminal dock, the
bathymetry of the MIRABEAU basin is between 10.16 m ML and 20.08 m ML.

The existing dock is at the coast 2.4 m ML, and its depth is at the level – 12 m ML.

Remark:
The draught next to the dock is fixed equal to -13 ML and from bathymetric reading the
minimum draught in the avoidance circles and in the berths is equal to -10.16 ML so we
must provide a dredging of 2.84 m.

IV. WATER PLAN LEVELS

IV .1. Tidal regime:

The extreme values measured are:

 Maximum height (Highest Open Sea Waters): + 6,751 ML
 Minimum Height (Lowest Low Sea Waters): - 3.169 ML

IV.2.N extreme levels:

 Sea level rise related to global warming: thisis generally estimated at about 5
mm/year. The official value retained by the French government today is 47.5 cm for
100 years.
The sea level rise recorded for the DDE of Guadeloupe is 40 cm, which corresponds to
a life of 80 years of the structure. It is this value that will be retained.

 Extreme levels of the plan of water:

Extreme levels are calculated by considering the average levels of Full and Low Sea.
 Probable absolute maximum level: +6.751 + 0.40 = +7.151 ML
 Probable absolute minimum level: -3.169 ML

The levels of the funds in front of the dock:

The draught of the project vessel has been set at 13 m ML, considering a pilot foot of
1m, the levels of funds to be considered are represented below:

‐ Level of funds guaranteed = ‐14 ML

‐ Dredging project level = ‐14.5 m ML
‐ Calculation level = ‐15 m ML

IV. MATERIALS
IV.1. Concrete

Our project is located in a tidal zone, area subject to projections or spray and
according to the standard NF EN 206‐1, the exposure class of the work will be XS3.

The indicative duration of use of the project is 80 years, therefore, it is of structural class
S4.

the realization of this work

Calculation of the anchorage

The calculation of the anchorage is based on Eurocode 2 part 1-1, paragraph 4.4.1
Cnom = Cmin + ΔCdev
Cmin = max (Cmin,b; Cmin,hard + ΔCdur,γ – ΔCdur,st –
ΔCdur,add; 10mm) With ΔCdev = 10mm

For the record, the minimum anchorage with regard to the layout of the
reinforcements Cmin, b is calculated according to Table 4.2 of NF EN 1992-1-1:

Adhesion requirements
Reinforcement layout Minimum anchorage cmin,b
Individual frame Bar diameter
Packet Equivalent diameter (øn)
If the nominal dimension of the largest aggregate is greater than 32 mm
Cmin, b shall be increased by 5 mm.

Table 3: Minimum anchorage Cmin,b required for adhesion

In the case of an exposure class XS3 with a structural class S4, we will have the
following minimum anchorage thickness:

Environmental requirement for cmin,hard (mm)

Exposure class according to Table 4.1
Structural Class X0 XC1 XC2/XC3 XC4 XD1/XS1 XD2/XS2 XD3/XS3
S1 10 10 10 15 20 25 30
S2 10 10 15 20 25 30 35
S3 10 15 20 25 30 35 40
S4 15 20 25 30 35 40 45
S5 20 25 30 35 40 45 50
S6 25 30 35 40 45 50 55

Table 4: Minimum anchorage values cmin, hard required for durability in the case of reinforced concrete
reinforcements complying with EN 10080
Cmin, hard = 45 mm
The values ΔCdur, γ, ΔCdur,st, and ΔCdur,add will be considered null and void for the
purposes of the project.
If Cmin, b > Cmin,hard , then the minimum anchorage of the reinforced concrete
implemented for the extension will be equal to Cnom = Cmin,b + 10 mm; otherwise
this thickness will be taken equal to 45 + 10 = 55 mm.
Cnom=55 mm
Crack opening

The control of cracking will be done by the simplified method which consists in limiting the
stresses in the steel.

It is therefore necessary to check that Wk ≤ Wmax

The recommended values for Wmax are given in Table 7.1NF of EC 2

Table 5: Recommended values of wmax in mm‐table 7.1NF EC2

According to this table, the value of Wmax = 0.2 mm will be used, so a limited stress in
steel of 0.2 x 1000 = 200 MPa.

IV.2. Reinforced concrete steel

For the calculation of steel sections, we have chosen the simplified rectangle diagram.

Figure 4: Simplified "Stress – Strain" Diagram

For reinforcements, we have chosen a type of steel with the following characteristics (EC
2 section 3.2):

 Steel specific gravity : 7.85 t/m3 = 7,850 kN/m3

 Elastic limits of reinforcements Fe= 500 MPa
 Elastic limits of a welded mesh: Fe = 500 MPa
 Yield strength of smooth rounds: Fe = 235 MPa
 Longitudinal modulus of elasticity: E = 210,000 MPa
The anchorage lengths are as follows (valid for A C35/45 concrete):

f h1 h2 fck,0.05 fctd fbd lb

≤32 0.70 1.00 2.25MPa 1.50MPa 2.36MPa 22f
FeE 235 40 0.70 0.92 2.25MPa 1.50MPa 2.17MPa 24f
≤32 1.00 1.00 2.25MPa 1.50MPa 3.37MPa 33f
FeE 500 40 1.00 0.92 2.25MPa 1.50MPa 3.10MPa 36f

Partial coefficients of the reinforcement:

ULS in a sustainable or transitional situation: ɣs = 1.15

(ULS, SLS) in an accidental situation: ɣs = 1.0

Coeff partial relating to fatigue: ɣs,fat = 1,0

Sheet piles and metal profiles

It is necessary to take the loss of thickness (in millimeters) caused by the corrosion of
sheet piles on faces in contact with the ground, with or without groundwater, in fresh
water or in seawater .

Tables 4.1 and 4.2 of EC 3 – 5 give these thicknesses according to the calculation life
required for the construction.
 Table 5 : Values of thicknesses sacrificed to corrosion

The sacrificed thickness value to be taken into account for our case is 3.75 mm

‐ Type of sheet piles : profile Z of shade S 355 (type Arcelormittal).

‐ Type of profiles : HEA and HEB of grade S 355 (Arcelormittal type).
Metal piles

The sacrificed thickness values to be taken into account for metal piles are from top to
bottom:
Sea side :

‐ Outside the tube: from the head of the pile to the 0.329 m GFL dimension, a
thickness loss of 0.6 mm, then a loss of 3.75 mm to the natural terrain, and
finally 0.6 mm on the height of piles stuck in the ground.
‐ Inside the tube: a loss of thickness of 0.6 mm over the entire height of the pile
(piles blocked at the foot by the ground and at the head by a reinforced concrete
plug).

On the land side :

‐ On the outside of the tube: a loss of thickness of 0.6 mm over the entire height of
the pile (piles blocked at the foot by the ground and at the head by a reinforced
concrete plug).
Rods

The tie rods to be used in our project must follow the recommendations of NF EN 1537
and TA 2020.
