Study of Deformation Performance and Seismic Damage on Pile-Supported Wharf by Shaking Table Test

Combined with the research results of shaking table test, through the deformation performance of steel pipe pile foundation, the seismic damage and seismic performance of steel pipe high pile wharf are evaluated, and the appropriate evaluation method is given. By setting the numerical analytical model of multi working condition steel pipe high pile wharf with different water depth, different pile types and different pile diameters, the limit displacement of the pile in the soil under different ground motions is calculated. The calculated results show that, the plasticity ratio (defined as μ = δu/δy) of the structural system of steel pipe high pile wharf ranges from 1.5 to 3.0; and the fitting relationship between plasticity ratio μ and the diameter thickness ratio D/t was obtained. The fitting relationship is tested by the existing experimental research results. The results show that the given fitting relationship can be in good agreement with the experimental results in the range of ± 15%. On the basis of this fitting relationship, taking the diameter thickness ratio as the basic parameter, a seismic damage evaluation method of steel pipe high pile wharf structure based on deformation performance is proposed. © 2024 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
