The model describes a flap sluice gate for the ship's hoist, which is used to regulate the water level of a dam. The flap measures 7.0 m and the structure reaches a total width of 10.4 m, whereby the water can be dammed up to a maximum height of 5.6 m. The design is performed in S 355 structural steel. Calculations in RFEM provide detailed insights into global deformations. Further information at Ingenieurbüro Ehlenz (© Ingenieurbüro Jürgen Ehlenz).
