Piles are structural elements which play an important role to carry loads and transfer them to the ground. In a jetty structure, the critical lateral loads supported by piles are mostly from Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) vessels. This research investigates various pile configuration such as pile diameter (40 cm, 60 cm, and 80 cm), distance between pile (2,5 m and 5 m), and the slope of the pile (straight pile and sloping pile with the ratio 1:8). A series of analysis has been conducted using SAP 2000 program. The analysis results show that a smaller pile deflection can be obtained if a large diameter pile is used, distance between piles is 2.5 m, and the type of piles being installed is a sloping pile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
