4 General requirements 4.1
Components The floating structure consists of floating body, connecting bridge and anchorage. 4.2
Strength
The strength of the components of floating structures shall be fixed taking into account the actions described in Annex A. Test as specified in 7.2. 4.3
Buoyancy and stability 4.3.1 General In combination with the following proof of buoyancy and stability, for floating structures the effects in accordance with Annex A shall have a partial safety coefficient of 1,0. 4.3.2 Intact stability A — freeboard of at least 0,15 m;
— safety clearance of at least 0,30 m and — heeling angle of no more than 10° shall be maintained. In addition, the metacentric height for floating structures under option A (see 4.4) under impacts as per A.5 to A.7 and A.11 shall be at least 0,15 m. For these structures, heeling motions caused by the vessel´s SIST EN 14504:2016
Free surfaces of liquids that can occur during operation shall also be taken into account. If all buoyancy bodies are completely filled with a material according to 4.5.4, proof of leak stability may be omitted. Test as specified in 7.3.2. 4.4
Anchorages for floating structures Floating structures shall be anchored in their positions to prevent them from being torn loose or being displaced by currents, wind, waves, fluctuations in water level or the draught or wash of passing vessels or possible special loads. In the case of floating landing stages and floating landing bridges, the influence of berthing ships shall also be taken into consideration. The functioning capability of the anchoring shall also be documented for the case that the floating body of the floating structure springs a leak. Anchorage for the floating stages shall comply with one of the following two options: a)
Option A: The floating stage shall be secured to the land by means of 1) Chains, 2)
Cables 3) Synthetic ropes as per EN ISO 1140 or EN ISO 1346 4)
A pier anchor of appropriate strength and length or 5)
the connecting bridge. The fastenings shall be secured against deliberate undoing. This requirement is considered to be met if it is not possible to undo the fastenings without the use of a tool.
Rope end connections shall be designed as splicers according to EN 13411-2 or by means of aluminium ferrules according to ISO 8793. Plastic rope end connections shall be designed according to EN 1492-4. b)
Option B: The floating structure shall be attached to guides or dolphins in accordance with 4.5.3. 4.5
Structural requirements 4.5.1
General The floating structure shall be designed so that it can follow all changes in water level during operation. SIST EN 14504:2016
Freeboard Taking into account 4.3, for floating landing stages and floating landing bridges the freeboard of the floating body shall be selected so that the height difference between the traffic areas of the floating body and the deck of the vessel is as small as possible for the berthing vessels expected. For floating jetties, the freeboard of the floating body should be selected taking 4.3 into account, so that no waves enter the traffic areas under predictable wind and wave conditions. 4.5.3
Floating bodies
Floating bodies using option B (see 4.4) anchorages shall be fixed so that they cannot tilt.
The height of the guides or dolphins shall be measured so that the floating body is not flooded at the maximum water level to be expected or the floating body shall be secured against floating away. Floating bodies shall have one or more buoyancy bodies, which — comprise a total of at least three watertight air chambers or — are completely filled with a material according to 4.5.4. It shall be possible to seal the openings in the air chambers so that they are waterproof. 4.5.4 Materials for filled buoyancy bodies Materials used to fill the filled buoyancy body shall have closed pores. The water absorption characteristics of the material shall be taken into consideration during proving. For buoyancy elements made of expanded polystyrene according to EN 13163, water absorption characteristics according to EN 12087 of max. 5% by volume are recommended. These materials shall be protected against external influences or against such influences. 5
Equipment 5.1
Railings, barrier 5.1.1 The walkways on floating landing stages shall be fitted with fixed railings as specified in EN 711 at points where it is possible to fall into the water or to lower-lying levels. Types PF or PG shall be selected for floating landing stages or floating landing bridges used for passenger traffic.
5.1.2 There shall be a barrier at the shore-side access point to the connecting bridge of the floating landing stage if the design of the landing stage does not prevent persons being subjected to any hazards when the ve
