Finite element simulation of barge impact into a rigid wall

The forces and locations of inland barge impacts currently control the design specifications for lock walls. This has resulted in a significant increase in the final construction costs of these walls. Thus, the loads from barge impacts on lock approach walls become an important evaluation and/or des...
