The Seismic Performance Evaluation of PHC Pile Wharf Based on Pushover Analysis

Abstract:

A single bent structure of PHC pile wharf was taken as the research object. A finite element model was established and studied by pushover analysis along the transverse direction by SAP2000. The parameter conversion relationship between response spectrum of ATC-40 and of Chinese codes was studied. Seismic performance evaluation of the wharf structure is conducted. The conclusion is that the single pile yield order of the PHC pile wharf is from the bottom to the top. The wharf structure meets the seismic capacity requirements on condition of frequent earthquake of 7 degree, but needs appropriate reinforcement on condition of rare earthquake of 7 degree.
