Hello all - Started last wednesday on cutting up a 25'x90'x5' barge. Deck is 5/16", all other plating 1/4". Half out of the water currently until superstructure gets cut down, then the rest will get pulled up on the beach.
Based on lbs/square footage of plate and Bowlbs/running ft of framing I estimated 42Tons (not including 300+ ft of channel welded to deck - can't seem to find weight spec).
Based on weather (ice closing in) I'm cutting peices just under max shear size.
Will post pics soon when I figure out the photobucket thing.
Stay warm and safe everybody.
