MARINE ICE-RESISTANT PLATFORM HULL

摘要

FIELD: transport.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to shipbuilding and concerns protection of marine ice-resistant platform hulls against external ice impact. Marine ice-resistant platform hull has reinforced, predominantly vertical, ice sheathing with stiffening set and is provided with rigid elements with triangle cross-section installed on sheathing surface and placed on its surface with creation of multiturn spiral which has generatrix inclination angle to horizon of 10÷70 degrees and spiral pitch not exceeding 1/3 of maximum ice thickness in the area of platform operation. In this system, rigid elements are installed so that horizontal plane determining upper end of spiral is above platform design waterline, and horizontal plane determining lower end of spiral is under platform design waterline where distance in height between planes of upper and lower ends of spiral is not less than 1/2 of ice thickness in the area of platform operation.EFFECT: lower ice loads on platform hull.1 dwg
