Thanking you in advance

You may want to try this text....I believe I saw something in here on the design of chains for floating structures. Also, you may want to check design documents published by the Port of LA, Long Beach, Seattle, etc....Or call KPFF Seattle's Marine/Port Design Division.

A loose ring around a stiff pile allows elevation changes of floating docks with stable loaction, (hinged ramp to the dock from the shore).
