Block-type gravity quay walls are widely used in remote oceanic regions due to their cost
and construction efficiency, where backfill and foundation soil often consist of liquefiable …

The seismic performance of an existing gravity quay wall consisting of concrete blocks is
investigated using effective stress analysis. The study focuses on the effect of the uncertainty …

Numerous earthquakes have demonstrated the high vulnerability of all types of quay walls to
strong ground shaking. Motivated by this observation, numerical modeling of a block-type …

Effective stress analyses are conducted aiming to provide Class A predictions for a seismic
centrifuge test of a multi-block gravity quay-wall. Two different codes are used: i) the finite …

ABSTRACT Yang, SM and Lee, JK, 2024. Evaluating the geoengineering performance of a
gravity multiblock quay wall and jet-grouting on marine clayey soils along the Korean …

The retaining walls in coral sand sites are inevitably threatened by earthquakes. A series of
shaking table tests were carried out to study the seismic stability of gravity retaining walls …

In performance-based seismic design of port structures, it is crucial to accurately verify the
seismic performance of structures. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for …

Many facilities, including port facilities, were damaged by a major earthquake that occurred
almost 100 years ago (the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923). At the Port of Yokohama, the …

Dredging is usually used in constructing the buildings' basements and causing large failures
in the existing retaining walls. This study is about the behavior of retaining walls as a result …

Gravity quay wall structures have repeatedly suffered substantial outward displacement and
rotation even when subjected to moderate earthquake shaking. The dynamic response of …
