SEAFASTENING DESIGN CALCULATION - TRANSPORTATION LOADS

Barge motion
Typical transportation barge motion criteria (depends on barge beam)
Barge beam = 20 m
Roll  = 25 deg ; T = 10 s Y Pitch
Pitch  = 15 deg ; T = 10 s Roll
Heave H = 0.2 g ; s X
..
Angular acceleration in roll, .. = 0.172 rad/s2 Z
Angular acceleration in pitch,  = 0.103 rad/s2
..
Heave acceleration,  = 1.962 m/s2
