EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH OF SEISMIC PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT IN PORT FACILITIES

Abstract

It is needed that retrofit works of existing port facilities due to change in function, improve in function and improve seismic performance. The technical standard for port facilities is focus on a design of new structure in general. In case of retrofit design, we must consider the existing or damaged structure and additional structure. In this paper, we discussed and proposed that the performance based seismic design and evaluation technique for level-2 earthquake motion using shake table tests and numerical simulations.
