On Dredging Renovation of High-Piled Wharf by FEA

Abstract:

In this paper, high-piled wharf is reinforced with a view to studying how the wharf dredging renovation affects its structure. As regarding the problem that the original balance of the bank slope is destroyed after upgrading, two retrofit schemes that set sheet pile wall at anterior wharf and low-piled caps at surcharge area are conducted to analyze the bank slope deformation and the inter force before and after wharf retrofit by means of three-dimensional finite element models. The analysis shows that for the scheme of setting sheet pile wall at front wharf, the inter force of the anterior pile station reduced while that of the post pile station near the stack area remains large. For the other scheme, the bending moment of the pile that closes to stack area significantly decreases after setting low pile caps. If both schemes are adopted coherently, the reinforcement effects to the anterior and post pile stations would be improved greatly.
