Seismic Performance and Retrofit Evaluation of an Existing Pile-Wharf Structure

Seismic performance assessment of a pile-supported wharf retrofitted with different slope strengthening strategies

“…Although seismic performance of as-built pile-supported wharves has been increasingly investigated [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34], little work has been done to date on retrofitting of existing pile-supported wharves or evaluating the effectiveness of various retrofit measures on seismic performance. To the best of the authors' knowledge, only two studies have investigated the seismic performance of retrofitted pile-supported wharves [5,35]. In contrast to bridges and buildings, which are mostly onshore structures, the pile-supported wharves are waterfront facilities directly exposed to the marine environment.…”

Seismic fragility assessment of large-scale pile-supported wharf structures considering soil-pile interaction

“…On the other hand, numerical modeling has also captured increasing attention of engineers to explore the seismic behavior of PSWS owing to its low cost and modeling generality. Compared to model tests, more work has been reported on using finite element (FE) analysis for seismic performance assessment of PSWSs [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…Erdogan et al [15] assessed the seismic performance of aging PSWS with two retrofitting schemes of arranging the additional piles. Donahue et al [16] studied the seismic performance of a PSWS by numerical model validated using the recorded strong motion data.…”

Analysis of Spatial Wharf Pattern of the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration, China

“…In recent years, the degree of specialization and automation of wharves has been greatly improved with the progress of society, and the number of studies on this field has been increasing. Erdogan et al [1][2][3] evaluated the seismic performance of wharves. Hamid et al [4] developed an idealized seismic vulnerability curve of the pile-supported wharf through actual frames.…”
