This book was released on 1994 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Houston/Galveston Navigation Channels are located along the Gulf of Mexico Coast in eastern Texas. These channels include the Entrance Channel, the Bar Channels (Bolivar Roads Area), Galveston Channel, the Texas City Channel, the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway (GIWW), and the Houston Ship Channel (HSC), which branches off the Bolivar Roads Channel, traverses Galveston Bay, and ends in Houston. The HSC consists of approximately 65 miles of improved deep-draft channels. The present channel is 400 ft wide and 40 ft deep at mean low tide for most of the channel distance. The project design calls for the channel to be improved in two phases. The Phase I channel is to be 530 ft wide and 45 ft deep, and the Phase 2 channel is to be 600 ft wide and 50 ft deep. A navigation study was conducted for the Houston/Galveston Navigation Channels, including a real-time ship simulation of the project area, to determine a cost- effective channel design for safe navigation. The Texas City Channel and the section of the HSC past Boggy Bayou are not included in the improvement project. The HSC is designed for two-way deep-draft traffic. The capability of large loaded vessels to meet and pass is the primary factor in determining safe channel width. In the highly restricted channel, both bank and ship interaction effects are significant factor in conducting bow-on meeting and passing maneuvers.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ship computer simulation study for Houston-Galveston Navigation Channels, TX, is performed. The study includes existing conditions and two proposed channel widths. The primary design question is related to ships meeting and passing in the narrow channels. Recommendations are made concerning channel width.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Houston/Galveston Navigation Channels are located along the Gulf of Mexico Coast in eastern Texas. These channels include the Entrance Channel, the Bar Channels (Bolivar Roads Area), Galveston Channel, the Texas City Channel, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW), and the Houston Ship Channel (HSC) which branches off the Bolivar Roads Channel, traverses Galveston Bay, and ends in Houston. The intersection of the HSC and GIWW is a navigation concern because of the high volume of towboat and ship traffic in the area. Tows turning from the GIWW into the HSC block the ship lanes while making the turn toward Houston. A navigation study was conducted for this intersection, including a real-time ship simulation of the project area, to determine a cost-effective channel design for safe navigation. Considerations in designing the turn include: strong currents, ship-to-tow interactions, bank effects, and channel marking. Hydrodynamic modeling of Galveston Bay was a key element of the study and provided currents for the navigation design.
