OPTIMAL DIMENSION DECISION METHOD OF CELLULAR-BULKHEAD QUAY WALL

Abstract

When designing the cellular-bulkhead quay wall, designers should determine the embedded length and the width of the cellular-bulkhead quay wall. As there are plural design alternatives for these parameters, designers should also calculate the construction costs and find the optimal profiles. In this study, authors present the general rule for the determination of the optimal design for the cellular-bulkhead quay wall. Authors then discuss the effects of these parameters on the earthquake resistant performance of the cellular-bulkhead quay wall by conducting the earthquake response analyses.
