Concept Design Method Sample Clauses

Concept Design Method. Reference 1, “Approach Channels – A Guide for Design,” was developed by a joint working group of PIANC and IAPH (International Association of Ports and Harbors), in cooperation with IMPA (International Maritime Pilots Association) and IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities). Chapter 5 of Reference 1 describes a concept design method for channels. The method is based on a design ship (or ships) and determines, through an accumulation of factors, the minimum recommended channel width as a multiple of the design ship beam. In addition to the intrinsic maneuverability of the design ship(s) (good, moderate, or poor), the considered factors are: ▪ Vessel speed (knots): fast, moderate, or slow ▪ Prevailing cross wind (knots) ▪ Prevailing cross current (knots) ▪ Prevailing longitudinal current (knots) ▪ Significant wave height and wave length (meters) ▪ Aids to navigation: Excellent with shore traffic control Good Moderate with infrequent poor visibility Moderate with frequent poor visibility ▪ Bottom surface: Smooth and soft Smooth or sloping and hard Rough and hard ▪ Depth of waterway relative to design ship draft ▪ Cargo hazard level: low, medium, or high ▪ Additional width for passing distance in two-way traffic ▪ Additional width for bank clearance 1 Formerly the Permanent International Association of Navigation Congresses (PIANC). PIANC’s concept design method has been applied to Tongass Narrows using the Carnival Conquest class of cruise ship (this class includes Carnival Conquest, Carnival Glory, and Carnival Victory) as the design ship. The principal dimensions of the ships are given in Table 2.1. The results are summarized in Table 2.2. TABLE 2.1 DIMENSIONS OF CRUISE SHIPS IN DESIGN SHIP CLASS Parameter Dimension Length 894.0 feet Beam 141.7 feet Draft 27.2 feet Speed * 7.0 knots * Speed in Tongass Narrows is restricted by federal regulation to 7 knots.

  • Research Design The data generated by excavations at the prehistoric site(s) will be used to examine at least three topics: (1) chronology; (2) technology; and (3) subsistence practices. Insights into changing patterns of community organization may also be granted, as may insights into changes in social organization. The data recovered will then be compared to data from other regional sites.
