Extensive damage to offshore and port structures supported on piles behind a quay wall has
been frequently reported as a result of soil liquefaction and lateral spreading in earthquakes …

This study explores the seismic performance of discontinuous broken-back block-type
gravity quay walls with varying configurations using the finite element method (FEM). For this …

The finite element analysis is conducted to study the causes of the failure of the caisson
quay wall at Malaga Port Container Terminal in Spain. It was found that the marine clay …

An L-shaped hybrid quay wall was proposed by combining the advantages of the box-
shaped and the L-shaped quay wall to improve the stability of the box-shaped quay wall and …

In the present study, attempts are made to develop the relationships for estimating the
optimum hunch angle of a hunchbacked block-type quay wall, which is one of the most …

In the last 50 years, there have been many evidences of gravity quay walls seismic failures
across the world. These failures are often associated with liquefaction of backfill soil in …

This research is to study the efficiency of displacement reducer fuses, installed behind the
caisson quay walls for controlling the dynamic backfill thrust and minimizing the …

The primary objective of this research is to analyze the seismic behavior of caisson-type
quay walls rested on a dense seabed soil layer and retained an improved backfill soil. For …

The main objective of the present numerical study is to investigate the seismic vulnerability
of the caisson-type gravity quay walls with improved backfill soil located on a non-liquefiable …

Quay walls as the retaining structures of harbours are commonly subjected to large
overburden loads. Changing the magnitude and length of these loads can affect wall …
