Finite Element Analyses of a Quick Camp Module.

Abstract

Three-dimensional finite element analyses of a Quick Camp module are described in this report. The Quick Camp system was developed at CEL by modifying standard shipping containers and is intended to provide rapidly deployable, cost-effective camp facilities for Naval construction forces. The objectives of the structural analysis were (1) to provide information about the static structural response of the module to three types of loading and (2) to study the feasibility of analytically evaluating the structural response of a module during emplacement by a helicopter. The results of the analyses show that in general (with the exception of severe service conditions) the module is adequately designed.
