Unique Design and Construction Features of a US Navy Submarine Research Facility
This paper describes the unique engineering design and construction features of a US Navy submarine model research facility situated overwater on Lake Pend Oreille, in Bayview Idaho. The design included an insulated prestressed concrete heavy duty pier supporting a 1400 square meter (15,000 sf) structural steel high bay research building with integral 110 MT bridge cranes. A two-span prestressed concrete bridge provided access to the overwater facility. The facility was designed and constructed in metric units. Unique features of the pier design and construction included an integral floor opening in the pier employed to deploy and retrieve scale submarine models with mechanically actuated stressed skin plywood hatch covers, special high strength insulated prestressed concrete deck panels, and precast architectural concrete to improve visual aesthetics. Unique design features of the 4-story high bay structural steel building included special truss moment frames combined with a long span metal roof diaphragm lateral system, stepped building columns supporting 3-span continuous crane girders, and synchronized twin 110 MT bridge cranes utilized for moving large scale model submarines.
