Experimental Study on the Distribution Coefficient of Horizontal Force Acting on the Wharf Transverse Bents

Abstract:

The force of ship is one of the main loads which High-Piled Wharf bears, the assignation of transverse component on each bent is the precondition of the calculation which simplified the wharf structure into plane bent. The taking value of transverse component on bent influences a lot on the result of structure calculation. Nowadays, the design of High-Piled Wharf uses the value from the distribution coefficient in the Design and Construction Code of High –Piled Wharf. The results show that the distribution coefficient taken in the code is under the precondition that considering the beam is rigid; the relative stiffness of beam and pile can influence this distribution coefficient. Considering the flexibility of the beam, the distribution coefficient of the horizontal concentrated force on transverse bents will change.
