Abstract
In 1987, the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) commenced a study to investigate `Generic Steel Designs for Tidal Power Barrages`. The purpose of the study was to perform generic designs for steel caissons, to allow evaluation of their potential over the full range of possible barrage sites. Numerous parameters had to be considered and therefore the computer program BAGPUS was developed, to perform rapid and cost-optimum designs. The program contains routines for the design of the structural elements, calculation of the cost of alternative designs, identification of the optimum design and calculation of stability safety factors for the temporary and permanent conditions. The program was written to run on a main frame computer, and proved very successful in completing the scope of work in the above study. (author).
