368: Gangway

Linear static stress with non-linear contact and linear buckling analysis of a gangway. Initially the design was analysed subject to a live load and a wind load. The same design was then analysed with a reduced wind load, and was then analysed using different dimensions for the SHS used. A more detailed analysis on just the end frame of the gangway was recommended and then carried out. 4 design iterations of the end frame were completed, with the final design having acceptable Factor of Safety values.
