In shipbuling processes, a quay wall is a major resource for additional operations after an erection operation at dock. A quay wall is becoming a new bottleneck instead of docks, while ship types with long operation time at quay wall are increasing recently. We developed a quay wall scheduling algorithm for the quayside operations of ships in this paper. The objective function is to minimize the sum of not assigned days of ships which have to be assigned to any quay wall under limited numbers of quay walls. The scheduling algorithm is based on an assignment method to assign each ship to a quay wall among its alternative quay walls at the time of launching or moving to another quay wall. The scheduling algorithm is also using Tabu Search algorithm to optimize assignment sequence of ships. The experiment shows that the algorithms in this paper are effective to make schedule of the quayside operations of ships.

This study investigated the acceleration response and shape change characteristics of a gravity quay wall according to the magnitude of the applied acceleration. The quay wall was defined as a port facility damaged by the Kobe earthquake. Four experimental scenarios were established based on the inclination condition grades, considered to be a significant defect factor in the quay wall. Then, the shaking table test was conducted using scaled-down quay wall models constructed per each scenario. The ground acceleration was gradually increased from the peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.1 g to 0.7 g. After each ground acceleration test, acceleration installed on the wall and backfill ground and inclination on the top of the wall were measured to assess the amplification of peak response acceleration and maximum response amplitude and the change in the inclination of the quay wall. This study also analyzed the separation of the quay wall from the backfill and the crack pattern of the backfill ground according to PGA values and inclination condition grades. The result of this study shows that response acceleration could provide a reasonable prediction for the changes in the inclination of the quay wall and the crack generation and propagation on the backfill from a current inclination condition grade.

Shaking table tests and pseudo-static analysis were performed, in this study, on newly-designed aseismatic L-type caisson quay walls, which were constructed by extending the bottom plate of gravity quay walls into the backfill soil. The L-type quay walls are expected to give economical benefits by reducing the cross-sectional area of the wall while maintaining its aseismatic efficiency as much as the classical caisson gravity quay wall. To confirm the effectiveness of the L-type structure, the geometry of L-type quay walls were varied for shaking table tests. And, to verify the influence of backfill soils on the seismic behavior of quay walls, additional shaking table tests were performed on the L-type quay wall after the backfill soils were replaced by gravels and light materials. As a result, it was found that L-type caisson quay walls are good earthquake resistant structures but increasing the length of bottom plate did not proportionally increase the effectiveness of the structure in its aseismatic performance. Replacing the backfill soils by the gravels and light materials, contrary to our expectation, was not an effective measure in improving the seismic performance of L-type caisson quay wall.

Caisson-type structures are widely used as quay walls in coastal areas. In Korea, for a long time, many caisson-type quay walls have been constructed with a low front water depth. These facilities can no longer meet the requirements of current development. This study developed a new technology for deepening existing caisson-type quay walls using grouting and rubble mound excavation to economically reuse them. With this technology, quay walls could be renovated by injecting grout into the rubble mound beneath the front toe of the caisson to secure its structure. Subsequently, a portion of the rubble mound was excavated to increase the front water depth. This paper reports the results of an investigation of the seismic behavior of a renovated quay wall in comparison to that of an existing quay wall using centrifuge tests and numerical simulations. Two centrifuge model tests at a scale of 1/120 were conducted on the quay walls before and after renovation. During the experiments, the displacements, accelerations, and earth pressures were measured under five consecutive earthquake input motions with increasing magnitudes. In addition, systematic numerical analyses of the centrifuge model tests were also conducted with the PLAXIS 2D finite element (FE) program using a nonlinear elastoplastic constitutive model. The displacements of the caisson, response accelerations, deformed shape of the quay wall, and earth pressures were investigated in detail based on a comparison of the numerical and experimental results. The results demonstrated that the motion of the caisson changed after renovation, and its displacement decreased significantly. The comparison between the FE models and centrifuge test results showed good agreement. This indicated that renovation was technically feasible, and it could be considered to study further by testbed before applying in practice.

It is very important to determine a target probability of failure in reliability based design such as an allowable factor of safety in working stress design because they are indices to judge the stability of structures. We have carried out reliability analyses of nationwide gravity type quay walls and found that sliding and foundation failures of quay walls were dominant failure modes for every case of loads. And a target probability of failure for bearing capacity of foundation of quay wall was also determined in this study. Of several approaches which have been suggested until now, a couple of reasonable approaches were used. Firstly, in order to consider the safety margin of structures which have been executed so far, the reliability levels of existing structures were assessed. And then a mean probability of failure for the quay walls was estimated. In addition, life cycle cost(LCC) analyses for representative structures were performed. Probabilities of failure for several quay walls were calculated with changing the width of each quay wall section. LCC of quay wall which is requiring case by case during the service life was evaluated, and also the optimum probability of failure of quay wall which minimizes LCC was found. Finally, reasonable target probabilities of failure were suggested by comparing with mean probability of failure of existing structures.

본 연구에서는 월파시 해안안벽에 작용하는 지진과 지진해일의 영향에 대하여 한계평형상태해석법을 적용하여 안정성을 검토하였다. 지진해일파력에 대하여 TWOPM-3D를 적용하였으며, 특히 안벽의 뒷채움재를 투과성재료로 가정하여 지진해일파가 월파 후에 안벽배후에 작용하는 파력을 산정하였다. 그리고, 수동상태와 주동상태 조건에서 해안안벽의 안정성에 영향을 주는 요인인 지진해일파고, 뒷채움재의 수위, 수평 수직지진가속도계수, 내부마찰각, 벽마찰각, 간극수압비 등을 변화하여 활동과 전도에 대한 안벽 안전율의 변화특성을 시간에 따라 검토하였다. 이로부터 지진과 지진해일파의 작용하에 지진해일파가 안벽을 월파하는 경우 수동상태에 대한 안전율은 결과적으로 안전율을 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하는 반면, 주동상태에 대하여 결과적으로 안전율을 감소시키는 요인으로 작용함을 확인할 수 있었다.

During the 1995 Hyogoken-Nambu earthquake, many caisson-type quay walls in Kobe Port moved several meters towards the seaside due to liquefaction and subsequent ground flow, To investigate the mechanism of quay wall damage, we carried out the numerical simulation using the 2-D effective stress analysis. Input earthquake motions used for the analyses are original Dip wave and the component wave in each compact support of wavelet transformation. The results suggested that the shear failure occurred in the foundation soil underneath the caisson type quay wall due to the deformation of the caisson type quay wall.

항만시설에서 발생하는 지진에 의한 피해의 대부분은 매립지반의 액상화에 기인하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 국내 대형항만의 안벽은 대부분 중력식 안벽으로 설계.시공되고 있으며, 이러한 중력식 안벽은 조성된 배후 지반의 액상화에 취약하여 지진 발생시 액상화로 인한 대규모의 파괴가 발생한 사례가 많이 보고된 바 있다. 최근 기존에 시공된 중력식 안벽구조물의 내진성능을 향상시키기 위해 다양한 공법이 제안되고 있지만, 그 효율성에 대한 연구는 미진한 실정이다. 이번 연구에서는 기존 안벽의 내진보강공법으로 쉽게 적용할 수 있는 내진안벽 형식에 대한 내진보강 성능을 평가하였다. 이 논문에서는 내진보강안벽의 내진보강 성능을 평가하기 이해 수치해석적 측면에서 케이슨식 안벽의 내진보강 성능을 평가하였으며, 동일한 단면에 대해 실시된 진동대시험 결과와 비교하였다.
