1、BRITISH STANDARD MARINE SERIES CONFIRMED DECEMBER1998 BS MA 78:1978 Specification for Aluminium shore gangways UDC 629.12.046:699.71BSMA78:1978 This BritishStandard, having been prepared under the directionof the Shipbuilding andMarine Standards Committee, was published underthe authority of theExec
2、utive Board on 28April1978 BSI02-2000 The following BSI references relate to the work on this standard: Committee reference SME/2 Draft for comment76/74018DC ISBN 0 580 10036 7 Foreword This BritishStandard has been prepared under the direction of the Shipbuilding and Marine Standards Committee and
3、is based on a proposal of the British Ship Research Association. Ships require a means of ship to shore access which can be safely used by all persons. The aluminium shore gangway provides a lightweight convenient structure which can be used in a horizontal or inclined position up to an angle of30 f
4、rom the horizontal dependent on tidal or freeboard conditions. Special designs of step allow for a more severe angle to be employed than the30 specified. The gangways described in this standard are not intended to carry wheeled traffic such as loaded trolleys, etc. A lightweight gangway for “first p
5、erson ashore” is described in Appendix A. NOTEUsers of this BritishStandard should note that while observing the requirements of the standard they should at the same time ensure compliance with any statutory requirements, rules and regulations as may be applicable to the individual ship concerned. A
6、 British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a

17、angles or hollow sections which hold the side stringers in position, and provide support for the decking 3.4 decking flat topped corrugated section or plate 3.5 footsteps the bars, rounded hollow sections or hardwood battens fitted proud of the decking or deck plate level to give better foot grip wh
18、en the gangway is inclined from the horizontal position 3.6 hand and intermediate guides the tubes, bars, ropes or chains which protect people from falling from the gangway 3.7 nominal size the length of the gangway between points of support (seeFigure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3) 4 Types of gangway Th
19、ree types of gangway are specified in this standard; they are as follows: a) type A, rigid-decking two-handrail gangway (seeFigure 1); b) type B, hinged two-handrail gangway (seeFigure 2); c) type C, rigid-narrow-decking two-handrail gangway (seeFigure 3 and Appendix A). NOTEThe longer type A gangwa
20、ys with hinged or portable handguides may be made up of sections connected by rigid jointing. For gangways assembled in this way, the preferred number of sections is given in Table 3. 5 Materials The materials shall comply with the requirements of Table 1. Other materials may be used provided they h
21、ave equivalent strength and are compatible with the structural use of aluminium as specified in CP118. 6 Dimensions 6.1 Gangways shall be designed to the nominal sizes shown in Table 2 or Table 3 for types A and B and Table 4 and Table 5 for type C. 6.2 The minimum width between side stringers shall
22、 be as indicated in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3.BSMA78:1978 2 BSI 02-2000 7 Design and construction 7.1 Design parameters 7.1.1 Design loading. The assembly, comprising side stringers, cross-members and decking shall be designed to withstand a uniform deck loading of4000N/m 2 . 7.1.2 Factor of s
23、afety. The allowable stress used in the design of the gangway with the loading specified in7.1.1 shall be determined by applying a factor of safety of2 on the0.2% proof stress of aluminium. 7.1.3 Construction. The design and construction shall be in accordance with CP118. 7.2 Side stringers. Side st
24、ringers shall be constructed from welded, extruded hollow or rolled sections, or from plate or from any combination of these. 7.3 Cross-members. Cross-members attached to the side stringers shall be capable of supporting the deck or deck plates. 7.4 Decking. The decking shall comprise either continu
25、ous-flat-topped longitudinal corrugated section or individual flat-plate surfaces, which may have a non-slip coating. 7.5 Footsteps. Footsteps of50mm 50mm hardwood shall be secured to the top of the decking at regular centre to centre intervals of not less than400mm. Alternatively, the footsteps may
26、 be constructed from extruded aluminium sections secured to the stringers or the decking, and raised above decking level by a minimum of30mm, in which case the minimum longitudinal length of flat decking between adjacent footsteps shall be350mm.
