Quay Wall

The dynamic response of gravity type quay wall during earthquake including soil-sea-structure interaction is calculated using ADINA finite element techniques. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of fluid-structure interaction on the residual displacement of wall after a real earthquake. A direct symmetric coupled formulation based on the fluid velocity potential is used to calculate the nonlinear hydrodynamic pressure of sea water acting on the wall. The doubly asymptotic approximation (DAA) is used to account for the effects of outer fluid on the inner region. The non-associated Mohr-Coulomb material behavior is applied to model the failure of soil. The full nonlinear effective stress analysis is performed in this study and the soil-pore fluid interaction effects are modeled using porous media formulation. Viscous boundary condition is implemented to model the artificial boundary in direct method analysis of soil-structure interaction system and sliding contact condition was modeled in the interface of wall and surrounding soil. A typical configuration of gravity quay wall is used for analysis and three real earthquakes excitation are applied as base acceleration. The results show that influence of fluid-structure interaction effects on the permanent displacement of a gravity quay wall constructed on relatively non-liquefiable site is not considerable.

This paper presents an experimental program performed to study the effect of fluid-structure interaction on the modal dynamic response of water-surrounded slender bridge pier with pile foundation. A reduced scale slender bridge pier specimen is built and tested through forced vibration method. The vibration periods of the first four lateral modes, including the first two modes along x-axis and the first two modes along y-axis, are measured based on the specimen submerged by 16 levels of water and designated with 4 levels of tip mass. Three-dimensional (3D) finite-element models are established for the tested water-pier system and analyzed under various combined cases of water level and tip mass. Percentage increases of vibration periods with respect to dry vibration periods (i.e., vibration periods of the specimen without water) are determined as a function of water level and tip mass to evaluate the effect of fluid-structure interaction. The numerical results are successfully validated against the recorded test data. Based on the validated models, the modal hydrodynamic pressures are calculated to characterize the 3D distribution of hydrodynamic loads on the pier systems. The research provides a better illumination into the effect of fluid-structure interaction on the modal dynamic response of deepwater bridges.
