| Summary: | Abstract The article gives an overview of the constructions of berthing facilities recommended for erection in severe climatic conditions. The main conditions for the application of each type of structure are singled out. Features of operating conditions of structures on the Arctic shelf are analyzed. Recommendations are given for choosing the optimal type of structures when there are weak soils at the base of the construction site, as well as under ice and seismic influences. The berthing facilities constructed in severe climatic conditions, both in Russia and abroad, are analyzed. The expediency of using shells of large diameter, which are thin metal or reinforced concrete casings (usually cylindrical shells), whose cavities are filled with coarse ground, have been substantiated in the harsh climatic conditions of the Arctic. The main advantages of this type of structures are described, and a number of problems are emphasized that are primarily related to the interaction of the shell and the filler material. The difficulties in organizing the transfer of the load from the shell structure to the ground base are singled out. |
