The problem of soil±pile±foundation±superstructure interaction is examined, and a simple rational procedure to analyse the response of a structure supported on pile groups is presented. This procedure combines theories for the computation of the dynamic impedances and kinematic±seismic response factors of pile foundations with a multi-degree-of-freedom structural model. The procedure is applied...

To investigate the seismic response characteristics of piled wharf structures, a numerical model soil-structure interaction system is established. Extensive fiducial error and grey correlation analyses are also conducted to obtain degree sequence internal force structure deformation, as well acceleration surrounding soils. The results show that peak at typical point soil more sensitive variatio...

Due to the harsh working conditions, durability of seaport wharf structure is poor compared with similar hydraulic structures. According structural characteristics coastal port and particularity a high salt humidity environment, stress features are analyzed, health inspection indicators proposed. A fiber grating sensor-based monitoring system for high-pile piers established. corresponding detec...

Integrating wave energy converters with breakwaters is a promising concept for wave energy utilization. On the basis of fulfilling the wave protection demands, pile-supported Oscillating Water Column (OWC)-type breakwaters can also meet the local needs of electricity far from the lands. In the present study, the wave energy extraction and vortex-induced energy loss of pile-supported OWC-type br...
