PARTIAL-MOMENT-CONNECTION TO THE DECK IN MARINE OIL TERMINALS By Rakesh K. Goel, F.ASCE ABSTRACT This paper presents development of a simplified procedure for seismic evaluation of piles with partial-moment-connection typically used in marine oil terminals. The current seismic evaluation procedure of the piles in marine oil terminals includes monitoring material strains specified in the Marine ...

As one of the most common structural forms in port engineering, operation environment high-pile wharf is quite harsh and complex, its pile foundation often produces damage different degrees. Until now, there a lack efficient, safe economic detection methods. A novel precise real-time (SDD) method using both finite element modelling (FEM) 1D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) established this ...

Rock-socketed pile is widely used in coastal wharf, Marine bridge, and power engineering, the end bearing function considered more design process. However, lateral friction resistance of rock-socketed piles an important part, load transfer mechanism pile–soft rock interface research focus. In this paper, a comparative analysis was adopted test, ten groups test specimens were made, including fiv...

The AASHTO code of practice for design of bridges shows that the ductility level for foundation is given equal to one. Bridges are classified in three classes. For class of essential and normal bridges a question for not to use ductility level due to the importance of bridges’ costs is become an important item in different countries particularly in Middle east. This paper aimed to study on pe...

Based on SEResNet neural network algorithm, the inversion model of damage incentives inland high-piled wharf is constructed. The stress data pile foundation under action are obtained by using solid element finite calculation and indoor test methods. parameterized established subprocess in Python program to call MANSYS module, verified with model. simplified meets needs calculation. samples from...

The dynamic characteristics of the flow around pile directly determine distribution law force on pile, which is basis calculation load hydraulic structure. At present, model test and numerical simulation methods are mainly used to study pile. There problems scale effect accuracy in laboratory test, inherent method, such as determination medium parameters, mesh division, boundary conditions. The...

This paper aims to investigate the seismic vulnerability of key port infrastructure components by using outcomes advanced numerical analysis. For first time, best knowledge authors, a pile-supported wharf structure, soil deposits where lies, and crane typically operating on are numerically modelled as combined system. The starting point for building model is main strategic facilities at Gioia T...
