The objective of the project is the structural calculation and definition of the reinforcement of the caissons that make up the inner dock of the port, for which a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed.

In the calculation of the stresses exerted on the caisson it is necessary to evaluate the different combinations of the load hypotheses. The evaluation of the design actions of the shelter is carried out according to ROM 0.2-90 Actions in the dimensioning of port works.
