times during the fender's 10-year life and will be assumed to impart the
energy specified in paragraph entitled "Performance Requirements" to
fenders at each docking occurrence. The vessel will approach the berth,
contact the fender, and then be positioned longitudinally along the berth
to reach its moored position. Each berthing operation will impart the
specified energies and forces to each fender including the longitudinal
forces specified in paragraph entitled "Fender Pull-Through Test." While
moored at a berth, the vessel will impart lateral forces to each fender
equal to the sustained loads specified in paragraph entitled "Fender
Sustained-Load Test" for a minimum of [200] [_____] times for [24] [_____]
hours each occurrence during its 10-year life.
1.2.3
Performance Requirements
The resilient, foam filled marine fenders shall be designed so that when
compressed across its diameter by two parallel flat plates extending the
full length and width of the fender, the fender shall absorb [300,265]
[_____] joules [221,500] [_____] foot-pounds of energy +15 percent when
[60] [_____] percent compressed (i.e. to a dimension of [40] [_____]
percent of its original diameter) with a corresponding load of not more than
[712,000] [_____] N [160,000] [_____] pounds +15 percent. The fender
shall also be designed to withstand a sustained reaction force of 667,200
[_____] N 150,000 [_____] pounds for a duration of not less than 24 hours
each occurrence for at least 200 occurrences during its 10-year life.
1.3
SUBMITTALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Submittals must be limited to those necessary
for adequate quality control. The importance of an
item in the project should be one of the primary
factors in determining if a submittal for the item
should be required.
A "G" following a submittal item indicates that the
submittal requires Government approval. Some
submittals are already marked with a "G". Only
delete an existing "G" if the submittal item is not
complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor's
Quality Control system. Only add a "G" if the
submittal is sufficiently important or complex in
context of the project.
For submittals requiring Government approval on Army
projects, a code of up to three characters within
the submittal tags may be used following the "G"
designation to indicate the approving authority.
Codes for Army projects using the Resident
Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for
Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office
(Engineering Division or other organization in the
District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for
Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes
following the "G" typically are not used for Navy
projects.
Submittal items not designated with a "G" are
considered as being for information only for Army
projects and for Contractor Quality Control approval
