Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Navigation channel length = 800
- Channel top width = 110
- Channel bottom width = 70
- Channel depth increase (cut depth) = 2.5
- Berth pocket length = 250
- Berth pocket width = 45
- Berth pocket depth increase (cut depth) = 4
Expected Result:
- Total dredging volume = 225000
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Total dredging volume = 225000 m^3.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
total dredging volume = (navigation channel length * (channel top width + channel bottom width) * cut depth / 2) + (berth pocket length * berth pocket width * cut depth)Formula family: formula_ports_dredging_volume_estimator_for_channel_deepening_berth_pocket_excavation
