Abstract
This research aimed to develop official port design standards for Cambodia by modifying and harmonizing that of Japan to be suitable for Cambodia's conditions. At this stage, we focused mainly on natural disaster conditions that may affect port structure design. Thus, in this paper, (1)the differences of natural disaster conditions between Japan and Cambodia: earthquake, typhoon, and flood, were evaluated to estimate the conditions for port structure design. (2)The effects on port structure design from the differences of the above conditions were evaluated. The evaluation was carried out by applying the Japanese Technical Standards for the selection of suitable structural types of quaywall among concrete block, concrete caisson, steel pipe pile, and steel sheet pile. Three criteria were used for the selection of suitable structural types: applicability against natural disaster conditions, construction cost, and constructability of each structure.
