Procesos de fabricación y montaje de la pluma de la grúa barcaza Smith Rice del terminal marítimo del puerto de Balao

Abstract

The crane barge Smith Rice is a machine consisting of two systems, a barge and crane mounted thereon. The structural part known as pen has experienced severe corrosion due to salt environment in which it is located, so the analysis of the elements for structural change will be made. The pen is divided into 5 areas: bridge, hinge, first body, second body and yardarm. 80% of what constitutes pen steel armor and the other 20% consists of different elements such as pulleys, plates, pins, pin and cables; efforts and bending moments will be analyzed to determine the profiles and materials to use. Having defined a materials will determine the manufacturing processes of each of the parties; then the structure built by parts, is system apply corrosion protection; subsequently determined the methodology of assembly and disassembly thereof; finally a cost analysis is performed.
