Optimal Design of Block Quay Walls

Abstract: Block walls, consisting of stacked unreinforced prefabricated concrete blocks, are commonly used for the construction of quay walls in the presence of rocky subgrades. A traditional design of block quay walls is based on manual design iterations, envisaging sufficient safety against ultimate limit states (ULS) such as sliding, overturning or loss of bearing capacity of the foundation soil. In addition, the designer should consider stability during the different construction stages of the block wall, referred t… Show more

“…The block quay wall generally contains two types: solid and hollow concrete block. Concerning the solid concrete block quay wall, there are many researches have been done, such as Pitilakis and Moutsakis [18], Madanipour et al [19] and Francois et al [20]. Compared to the solid concrete block quay wall, the advantages of the hollow concrete block quay wall are the less usage of concrete and the use of local materials, e.g.…”
