PIANC 2002 RATED PERFORMANCE DATA (RPD)

PIANC (Permanent International Association of Navigation Congress) Guidelines for the Design of Fender Systems: 2002 (PIANC 2002) introduces
Rated Performance Data (RPD) with an initial compression velocity of 0.15m/s decreasing to 0.005 m/s as its new fender performance basis. RPD
is introduced to simulate the decreasing velocity of actual berthing conditions.

The Differences between Conventional Method and PIANC 2002 RPD

Conventional Method PIANC 2002

Constant-Slow-Velocity Method Decreasing Velocity Method

Compression
Velocity

The large difference in compression velocity between the constant-slow-velocity and the decreasing velocity method causes a corresponding
difference in the performance data of the fender. The reaction force and energy absorption of rubber, being a viscoelastic material, will be higher
when it is compressed with a higher velocity.

According to PIANC 2002 there are 2 ways to obtain RPD.


1) Method CV
2) Method DV

Bridgestone has selected the Method CV in its fender testing program to comply with PIANC 2002. Below is an extract from page 52 of the PIANC
2002 Guidelines which describes Method CV.

-SOFTCOPY VERSION-

To obtain RPD as per PIANC 2002, a Velocity Factor must be established, as described in the above text. The Velocity Factor can be obtained
by scale model tests. Bridgestone has renamed Velocity Factor to RPD Factor. This is to avoid confusion with the Velocity Factor that is used for
adjusting fender performance if the berthing velocity is other than the standard 0.15m/s.

Bridgestone’s RPD Factors are obtained as per the PIANC 2002 Guidelines:

Decreasing Velocity Method Performance Data (by scale model tests)


RPD Factor =
Constant Slow Velocity Method Performance Data (by scale model test)

The fender performance is therefore adjusted with RPD factors. An example of the effect on the performance curve is as below.

As RPD is higher than the constant-slow-velocity method performance data, the RPD Factor is always greater than 1.0.

Bridgestone has conducted multiple performance tests with various strain rates (velocity) and temperatures for establishing RPD Factors, Velocity
Factors, and Temperature Factors for Bridgestone fenders. These factors are identified in the performance tables that follow.

Bridgestone fenders are well known for their quality. Being one of
the world’s largest rubber-based company, Bridgestone understands
rubber better than anyone else and leverages this expertise in rubber
technology to marine fender systems. Bridgestone fenders are one
of the original and most-trusted brands in the world. Equipped
with world-class testing facilities and stringent testing procedures,
Bridgestone fenders give you peace of mind wherever vessels berth.

High durability and excellent quality are synonymous with Bridgestone


fenders. This is well supported by impressive results of durability
testing on our Super Cell (SUC) and Hyper Cell (HC) fenders.

We meet the rigorous requirements of PIANC. Moreover, Bridgestone


fenders are made from the premium quality of rubber at ISO9001-
certified manufacturing plants fully owned and operated by
Bridgestone.

Marine Fender Manufacturer Versus Fender Traders


There is a trend for some companies to move towards
subcontract style of business for the supply of the rubber
fender body. Hence, it is important to highlight that Bridgestone
fenders are manufactured in Bridgestone’s 100% owned
and operated fabrication plant located in Shenyang, China.
This plant specializes in molded products, which includes
our marine fenders, rubber tracks, and other product lines.
Annual throughput exceeds 8000 tons of rubber.

Bridgestone, being the manufacturer, can secure a high level


of quality control in the manufacturing process. Moreover,
data integrity such as rubber properties and fender testing
performance can be assured.

HYPER CELL FENDER (HC)

The Hyper Cell fender is the highest evolution of the original Bridgestone cell
series fenders introduced in 1969. Analytically designed, Hyper Cell fenders
have a very complex shape, making the energy absorption and reaction force
ratio effectively higher than Super Cell fenders of the same size. Advanced
materials, cutting-edge technology and advanced testing facilities play a pivotal
role in the success of the Hyper Cell fender.

Since 1996, Hyper Cell fenders have been in service at ports around the world.
Specifically, Hyper Cell fenders are very popular at Container Terminals due to
their durability and performance.

Similar to Super Cell fenders, Hyper Cell fenders are typically designed with
frontal frame to allow for better distribution of stress across the hull surface.

50 years of experience in fendering solutions has been incorporated into this


latest generation of fenders.

SUPER CELL FENDER (SUC)

Originating from the cell series fenders first introduced in 1969, Bridgestone
Super Cell fenders have stood the test of time. Thousands of Super Cell fenders
have been in service at ports in more than 50 countries, greatly contributing
to the economical design of marine facilities. From the smallest SUC400H to
the world’s largest fender the SUC3000H, Super Cell fenders meet almost all
fendering needs at ports around the world.

Bridgestone Super Cell fenders are unique, having a high energy absorption
to reaction force ratio as one of its salient features. They are cylindrical in
shape with two steel mounting plates firmly bonded to both ends of the main
rubber column during vulcanization. The fender performance is developed by
compression and column buckling.

Super Cell fenders are typically fitted with frontal frame to obtain a wide contact
area on contact with the vessel, thus reducing pressure against the vessel hull
as much as required.

DYNA ARCH FENDER (DA)

Dyna Arch Fender was first introduced in 1984. This V shape fender offers higher performance than the prior Bridgestone V-Type fenders
including Super M and Super Arch Fenders. Dyna Arch Fenders are particularly suitable for small harbour and applications where vessel
projections are encountered during berthing. Its unique application utilizes both the assembly of frontal pads and frontal frame.

The Dyna Arch Fenders are available in three (3) types to enable a port owner or engineer to make the most suitable selection.

1) Without frontal pads (Type A or known as DA-A Fender)


2) With frontal pads and frontal frame (Type B or known as DA-B Fender)
3) With frontal pads bonded to the fender (Type S or known as DA-S Fender)

FEATURES OF DYNA ARCH FENDER

• High energy absorption with relatively low reaction force


• High durability as the internal stresses are dispersed throughout the fender body
• Wide selection of sizes, length and energy capacities
• Proven supply records of more than 20 years
• Ease of installation

LIGHT-DUTY DYNA ARCH (DA)
The Light-Duty Dyna Arch is the latest development from Bridgestone. These fenders replace the original 150H and 200H Super Arch (SA)
fenders. Light-Duty Dyna Arch has a more stable shape than its predecessor. This ensures higher durability which in turn helps the user to reduce
long-term maintenance cost.

Light-Duty Dyna Arch fenders are particularly suitable for lightweight applications such as accommodating smaller and lighter vessels. Replacement
of existing 150H or 200H Super Arch fenders is straight forward as the original bolting pitch is maintained.

FEATURES OF LIGHT-DUTY DYNA ARCH FENDER

• High energy absorption and low reaction force


• Convenient and high flexibility for due to its smaller size
• Ideal for smaller wharf and light-duty application
• Superior fender shape developed through finite element analysis
• Highly durable as the internal stresses are dispersed throughout the fender body
• Ease of installation

SMALL CRAFT FENDERS

Although tires and timber are often used on smaller wharves, such fenders cannot withstand long years of use and regularly need
replacement. In addition, damages to both the wharf structures and vessels berthing on wharfs installed with tires or timber are common.

Therefore, the demand is increasing for fenders with higher impact absorption and wider area protection. Bridgestone is responding to this
need by offering a full line of fenders and associated spare parts for small wharves.

FRONTAL FRAME

Fender (SUC)
Super Cell
Cell series fender systems (Hyper Cell or Super Cell) are typically designed with frontal frame. The frontal frame helps to reduce the
concentrated load acting on the vessel hull by distributing the force across the flat frame surface. The frontal frame size can be altered so
that the average hull pressure does not exceed the allowable hull pressure requirements, effectively protecting the vessel hull.

There are 2 types of frontal frame constructions, either open or closed. Closed frames are also sometimes known as boxed frames.
Generally, the open type frontal frame facilitates the ease of checking of the internal structure whereas the closed type is relatively superior
in corrosion protection.

Fender (DA)
Dyna Arch
The frontal frame can be chamfered or cornered at the top, bottom or side edges, depending on the types of vessels and hull design
considerations, the most typical being hull belting.

Sacrificial anodes (Zinc or Aluminium) can be installed on
frames for additional corrosion protection. The number and
weight of the anode is determined by the number of years
of protection desired.

FRONTAL PAD AND FIXINGS
The Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) polyethylene pads are fixed to the face of the frontal frame to minimize surface friction when the frontal
frame comes into contact with the vessel hull. There are 2 types of pads - flat pads and corner pads, with size up to 1000 mm x 1000 mm
depending on the orientation and size of the designed frontal frame. Typically, black or blue UHMW polyethylene pads are offered.

The below are the typical properties of UHMW pads:

UHMW PE Pad Properties Values


Specific weight 0.93-0.95
Hardness Shore D 60-70
Tensile strength Min. 15 N/mm2
Elongation >50%

The Pad Fixings


Bridgestone has an unique pad fixings design that improves on the conventional stud bolt design where the stud bolt is easily damaged during
handling. The M16 fixing bolts are used to fix the frontal pads to the welded nuts on the faceplate of the frontal frame. The below shows the cross-

structure. For new or existing steel structure, conventional bolts are usually used.

In the case of Super Bolts, the embedded portion will be cast into the concrete, providing a threading part (sleeves) in which the bolt is

Vasco Costa
According to Vasco Costa, when a vessel berths, a certain volume of water will be ‘pulled’ together, creating a virtual mass. This volume is
equivalent to d × d × Lpp.

Since the virtual mass will be created on both sides of the vessel,
the volume of water = 2d × d × Lpp and the volume of the vessel = Lpp × B × d.
Hence, the total volume of berthing is as follows:

ECCENTRICITY FACTOR (Ce)
Typically a vessel berths with either the bow or stern at an angle to the wharf or dolphin. The initial contact, or berthing point, is at one
location along the vessel hull. At the time of berthing, the vessel will rotate around this berthing point. For this reason, the total kinetic energy
held by the vessel is consumed partially in its turning energy and the remaining energy is conveyed to the wharf.

This remaining energy is obtained from the kinetic energy of a vessel corrected with the eccentricity factor, Ce. Ce may be calculated by
the following equation:

Where:
K = Radius of gyration of the ship (m)
Generally between 0.2L and 0.25L

K also can be obtained from the following formula:


K = (0.19 Cb + 0.11) Lpp

Where:
Cb = Block coefficient
Lpp = Length of vessel’s hull between perpendiculars (m)
R = Distance of the point of contact from the center of mass (m)

and 1.0.

Marine Fender
In the absence of more reliable information, a figure of 1.0 for Cs is recommended when a soft fender system is used, and between 0.9
and 1.0 for a hard fender system.

A hard fender system can be considered one in which the deflections of the fenders under impact from design vessels are less than 0.15m.

CONFIGURATION COEFFICIENT (Cc)
The berth configuration coefficient allows for the portion of the ship’s energy, which is absorbed by the cushioning effect of water trapped
between the ship’s hull and the quay wall. The value of Cc is influenced by the type of quay construction, the distance from the side of the
vessel, the berthing angle, the shape of the ship’s hull, and the under keel clearance.

The following figures are generally applied in each case:

Cc = 1.0 Cc = 0.9 ~ 1.0 Cc = 0.8 ~ 1.0

FACTOR OF ABNORMAL BERTHING


An abnormal impact occurs when the normal calculated energy to be absorbed at impact is exceeded. This is to account for the scenario
of accidental occurrences. Some reasons for abnormal impacts can be mishandling, malfunction, exceptionally adverse wind or current, or
a combination of factors.

The factor for abnormal impact may be applied to the berthing energy as calculated for a normal impact to arrive at the abnormal berthing
energy. This factor should enable reasonable abnormal impacts to be absorbed by the fender system without damage. It would impracticable

DESIGN BY BERTH CONSIDERATIONS
Allowable Maximum Reaction Force
The allowable reaction force varies from berth to berth. Typically a pile-constructed wharf or dolphin has a low limit of allowable reaction
force compared to the gravity wharf.

The reaction force of a selected fender should be less than the maximum allowable reaction force (Rmax).

Allowable Installation Area


The fendering system must be designed to fit the available mounting area on the wharf. The minimum area for installing Super Cell Fender
or Hyper Cell Fender is determined by the flange diameter. For arch-type fenders, the minimum area for installation is governed by the width
and length of the fender legs. For designs having chains these must also be accounted for in the mounting area.

As a general rule the distance from the edge of the concrete to the outermost anchor position (Lc) shall be equal to or larger than the length
of the embedded anchor bolts (L).

Rubber Materials Technology

Bridgestone also has the highly advanced understanding of rubber as a material. This is essential for a heavy molded product such as a marine
fender. Marine fenders are the thickest structural element commonly made from vulcanized rubber. This presents unique problems for the
vulcanization. Rubber is a very good thermal insulator, therefore it is a difficult molding problem to assure the rubber is vulcanized throughout the
body thickness. Incomplete vulcanization will result in a failed fender. Bridgestone successfully produces our SUC3000H fender, which has a wall
thickness of approximately 500mm, by again applying the FEA method to study the temperature signature that must be maintained to assure
successful vulcanization. This methodology is applied to all our fender models.

FENDER PERFORMANCE TEST

Fender (SUC)
Super Cell
In production Bridgestone fenders are tested for performance following PIANC procedures. Fenders will be selected at random and compressed
by a compression-testing machine up to the rated deflection. The fender performance shall meet the specified values within the tolerance.

Performance Tolerance: Reaction Force +10%


Energy Absorption –10%
Test Lots: Ten (10) % of each size.

Fender (DA)
Dyna Arch
The fender performance is expressed by the value of the energy absorbed and reaction force thus generated during fender compression at the
prescribed deflection.

In the fender performance test, the fender shall be compressed axially under the constant-slow velocity of 0.0003-0.0013 m/s (2-8 cm/min) for
three (3) times up to the rated deflection.

The load and the deflection in each test shall be recorded. The average of 2nd and 3rd cycle performance data shall be adopted to determine

Dyna Arch (DA)


Light-Duty
the reaction value and energy value of the fender.

The energy absorption and reaction force at the standard deflection must be within the tolerance value.
