Feasibility study on the application of fiber-reinforced polymers in large lock gates

Innovative design for lock gates - curved sliding gate; case study: IJmuiden Nieuwe Zeesluis

Design of a lock gate for Nieuwe Zeesluis in IJmuiden becomes a challenge when the boundary conditions limit the choice for the conventional types of the gate. The available width of the lock does not allow a straight rolling gate to be considered as a possible alternative as it is in most similar cases. All the initial efforts of this study...
