Abstract:

Pile-supported wharf (PSW) is widely used in the deep-water port engineering construction, most of which are located in liquefiable ground. The effect of wave action on the working performance of PSW in liquefiable ground cannot be ignored, but few studies have been reported. This study performs the wave flume test of PSW in liquefiable ground considering the soil-structure-wave interaction. This test really reproduces the operating condition of PSW, and explores the internal response difference of wharf structure under wave. The influence of wave height on dynamic response of the PSW system is discussed systematically. The result shows that the acceleration and displacement of the PSW deck gradually increase first and finally remain relatively stable with the increase of wave action. The hydrodynamic pressure and deformation of each pile in pile group are obviously different, and the response variation is related to the pile position. The pore pressure of the soil layer in the free field and around the pile decreases with the increase of depth, and the existence of the pile group can reduce the pore pressure in the soil layer around the pile, and increase the acceleration of the soil layer. The effect of wave height on the soil layer decreases with the increase of depth. The above results can provide reference for the similar PSW test under wave and the support for the design and wave protection of PSW.
