  • The seismic geotechnical modeling, performance, and analysis of pile-supported wharves

    Creator:
    McCullough, Nason J.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents the results of a research effort conducted to better understand the seismic performance and analysis of pile-supported wharves. Given the limited number of well-documented field case histories, the seismic performance of pile-supported wharves has been poorly quantified, and the analysis methods commonly employed in engineering practice have...

  • Seismic performance of a pile-supported container wharf structures in rockfill

    Kawamata, Yohsuke
    Abstract:
    Recently, the concept of performance based design has become popular for many types of structures, including port facilities under seismic loading. For the case of pile-supported wharves, the level of performance is generally estimated using the displacement capacity of the structure. Therefore, understanding soil-pile interaction is one of the most...
